Urban Prairie Waldorf School New Home
Urban Prairie Waldorf School offers an education with compassion and connection with others at its core, in a world where empathy is frequently lacking. Rather than building walls between different schools of thought, we bridge divides to bring meaningful conversations to our classrooms and our parent community.
Urban Prairie Waldorf School started as a dream with 11 families who were looking for a well-rounded education for their children while staying within city limits. Supported by our sister school, City Garden Waldorf School, we have grown from one class with 12 first graders in a former office space, to 160 first through eighth graders in 12 classrooms in a former parochial school in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood. Our first class of graduates have all been accepted into their first choice of high schools, including selective enrollment public and top parochial high schools.
UPWS students are challenged daily through a variety of classes:
In addition, they are socially supported through our Three streams of Student Support and
Our parents support the programs offered, and continue to be learners themselves, attempting to create the soundest home environments for their children, attending workshops and parent nights, and contributing their time and efforts to make the school the best it can be.
We have an opportunity to purchase a now-closed school that offers all the amenities we require to make our community flourish:
The school is ADA compliant, which means we can offer our education to a wider population.
This location is a stone’s throw from our current site, 1.5 miles of our sister school, City Garden, and close to major traffic arteries and public transportation. Situated across the street from a Costco, it has terrific visibility and will allow us to become the beacon for Waldorf education that we have always envisioned our school to be.
Our parent community is busy reaching out to their friends and family to help fund this endeavor. Join us and become a part of our Revolution in Education.
