Education

Boone Prairie School seeks to provide an affordable quality education based on a classical foundation.  Fostering an overall sense of community among the administration, teachers, students, and parents.  we believe that it is the role of the family and the church to be the source of spiritual instruction for children, and it is the role of the school to support the instruction of the church and family, not to supplant it. The focus of Boone Prairie School is to provide students with an outstanding liberal arts education that is culturally rich in traditional American values in a Christian environment, surrounded by caring teachers and staff, without preference for one denominational set of beliefs over another.
