Private Schools

My family chose to send our children to The Prairie School and have been grateful to see them blossom into amazing young adults and prepared for success in their future. The teaching staff is beyond compare in their professionalism and ability to know the needs and gifts of each child. The experiences available to children at the school are incredible, including the arts program (especially the glass blowing studio), learning Mandarin, the stellar athletics programs, and opportunities to travel (Wash. DC, Grand Canyon, France, Costa Rica, etc.). We know that our children were given the ultimate opportunity to explore their potential at Prairie.

My parents sent me to this school after failing most of my subjects in 7th grade. I was so upset... what could a small school with little to no sports programs offer me? Over 20 years later, I can honestly say that the two years spent there were the best years of my life. I was given a foundation that the rest of my life was built on. I made friends for life, and yes, my grades improved. Let's face it, anybody can come on the internet and talk up something that really doesn't live up to the hype. TALK IS CHEAP! I put my money where my mouth is: I'm sending my children to this school. I am not a Lutheran, but I cannot think of a better school for my kids. Some of the same teachers are still there, and I can guarantee they're not there for the salary they receive. They care about their students, and it shows! Since my school days, their sports programs have gone through the roof... which my children are very happy about. Don't hesitate to look at this school, it'll be one of the best decisions you can make for your child(ren).

This parish has really gone down hill. I called about getting my son baptized right after he was born. SEVEN WEEKS and several phone messages later I finally got a call back and a date for his baptism. Not even a week went by and I received a very rude message from the parish secretary saying that they needed to reschedule for the end of April! Which was 6 weeks away!

CLS has been an amazing environment for our daughter to grow spiritually and academically.

Goddard is awesome!! My child has learned some much and loves her teachers. Great experience overall.

I went to Bethany from Kindergarten thru 8th Grade then on to Shoreland Lutheran High. My children also followed in my footsteps and am so grateful for the opportunities I have had. I think private WLS schools are the very best and ahead of the public schools by far. My daughter actually went far in college due to her schooling in younger years. My grandsons would go to this school if they lived in the area. God has Blessed this school and its teachers and Pastors. Thank you for all that you do for our children.

When I first heard that my parents were going to have me tour this school, I thought nothing of it. I was so nervous and didn't care much for this place. When I toured it, the choice was already made. As a current student here now, I'm just going to say that I made the right choice over any other middle school. The teachers are so engaging, and heart warming, and we learn so much from them! I learned some things I would've never learned at another middle school. The students here are so welcoming and warm-hearted, but also focused and confident to succeed their classes. I never thought I'd ever fit in, I thought I'd always be an outcast. Well, I found the right people on just my 2nd day. The school's lunch food is just incredible! They serve enough to fill us all up, and it's all fresh. If I had a choice between staying here and going back to Karcher, I would immediately choose to stay here.

School

I went their when I was a student from pre-K all the way to 8 the grade, and they have a staff that truly cares.

This place made me give up on everything and everyone.

Good for my kid
