Focus
• Respects the development of the whole child
• Reflects an understanding that children learn through active involvement and play
• Adaptive curriculum that meets children’s natural interests and abilities

Curriculum
The curricular philosophy of Prairie Green Elementary School is to educate the whole child by teaching according to student readiness and interest. Because of our small class size and multiage homeschooling environment, we have the ability to differentiate instruction to individual student's needs. We strive to provide quality curriculum that is rigorous and relevant to each student.
Taught by Paula Boback & Annalise Nelson
Paula is the founder and upper elementary teacher for Prairie Green Elementary School. She is a life-long educator with a background in outdoor and science education. She has experience in the public school system and collegiate level classrooms. Paula created Prairie Green School so her own children and others will have the opportunity to develop a love of learning in the midst of a strong and supportive community. While Annalise has taught almost all elementary grades, her passion is working with the early elementary, teaching them to read and write.
