Prairie School of DuPage 2023-24 Annual Giving Campaign

“In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we’ve been taught.”

- Baba Dioum, Senegalese Environmentalist

Thank you for visiting the Prairie School of DuPage 2023-24 Annual Giving Campaign. If you care about the environment and understand the important role of nature-based and outdoor schools in education, please consider a charitable gift so we can continue our critical mission.

At the Prairie School of DuPage, our mission is to educate and inspire the whole child, preparing each student for a life of discovery by cultivating a strong sense of self, compassion and respect for others, and a deep connection with the natural world.

By supporting our Annual Giving Campaign, you help provide an experiential, nature-based education to children ages 3-14. 100% of your donation goes directly to enhancing our curriculum, providing valuable resources for our dedicated teachers, and giving more children the opportunity to experience an environmentally focused education through our financial assistance program, grants, and scholarships.

Prairie School of DuPage is a critical part of the local ecosystem but has impacts far beyond our county.  Now more than ever, our future leaders and changemakers need an environmental and global viewpoint. Growing up in an experiential, inquiry-based, and environmentally-focused school gives our alumni a unique perspective and understanding of their world. Our students learn to relate to the environment in meaningful and transformative ways and will take that understanding with them as they move on into the world. An investment in a child's education at Prairie School of DuPage is an investment in a sustainable future.

Your Investment Locally Impacts Globally.
