My wife and I have been very happy with what he's encountered there, academically, socially, and otherwise. The staff has without exception been very caring and dedicated people, and the atmosphere throughout the day has been professional, efficient, and everything you'd want for your child. Our son has progressed very well in his learning and social skills, and comes home challenged and excited by what he's encountered. He gets a lot of personal attention. We'll have him there into the future, because St. A's is the kind of place that any parent is looking for, and we'd recommend this great school to others as well. A job well done by this great staff.

I'm so disappointed to write this review, but I feel like it is my only option as Prairie School…read morehas not communicated with me in over five weeks. After touring the school, we applied to the pre-k program for early consideration (2/10/25). While communication prior to the tour and the application was quick and helpful, we started to run into problems after our application and fee were collected. To keep this as brief as possible, we reached out regarding timing of the decision on applications three times (both by email and phone call) to finally be responded to nearly five weeks past the first email. Once we received notification that we were placed on a waitlist and "...should a space in the class become available, the enrollment committee will ensure that your application receives thorough consideration..." we had a couple clarifying questions regarding the waitlist and the review process (as it is worded, it sounds as though our application was not even reviewed). We have not heard back from the school in five weeks. We have tried multiple email addresses, including the enrollment coordinator we had been communicating with, in addition to calling the school. Unfortunately, my experience with Prairie School is this: To apply, a family must dedicate time to attend a tour, complete a lengthy application, and pay a $150 non-fundable fee to ultimately not even have your application reviewed (which leads me to wonder what the fee is for, if not payment for the time/resources it takes to review a family's application). Additionally, the school does not respond to questions regarding the application process once your payment is made. As I'm writing this it sounds so wild! I would not recommend looking into this school.

As someone who was bullied numerous time, the school didn't cared even though my parents emailed them. It got to the point when my parents called the bullies parents.

IEP accommodation and speech therapy didn't work well because they would pull students like me outside of class and this caused me to miss more school stuff.

Making additional donations to the school (on top of tuition) is encouraged, perhaps that would've helped with communication! We enjoyed the infant and toddler programs, but the early childhood class experience was a failure on many levels. Too many children per teacher. We could sense the overwhelming focus on logistics, ironic for Montessori method while they always touted education. Our son's doing so much better in a different preschool.
