Admissions and tuition

The opening cohort

How enrollment will proceed

  1. 1

    Join the interest list now

    Tell the Academy who you are and the ages of your children. Families on the interest list are the first to hear every announcement.

  2. 2

    Applications open ahead of the 2028 year

    Enrollment papers open well before the doors do, with time for every question to be asked and answered.

  3. 3

    A conversation with each family

    Enrollment at these ages starts with a conversation with the family, not an examination of a four-year-old.

Questions parents ask

Is the school accredited?
The Academy is in its founding stage. It has applied to become a Hillsdale College member academy and intends to adopt its curriculum, teacher training and standards whole. Accreditation particulars will be published as the school approaches opening.
What ages will Prairie Classical serve?
The opening cohort in September 2028 is K4 through fifth grade - roughly ages four through eleven. One grade is added each year through twelfth.
Where exactly is the school?
The beautiful campus stands at the corner of Highway 19 and County Highway C in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. A map is published on the campus page.
What will tuition cost?
Tuition and fees will be published ahead of enrollment. Tuition will be $4,000, with discounts for every sibling after the first, plus a mandatory donation of $12,000, as of 2026. Wisconsin families will benefit from the state's private school tuition deduction; families are encouraged to consult their tax adviser.
What about uniforms and the school calendar?
The Academy intends to require uniforms, selected before opening so that families can buy in good time - and handed down between siblings rather than replaced with a new wardrobe each year. The school colors are red and white, chosen so that families can dress children for sporting events from the wardrobes they already own; uniforms may carry a third color. The teams are the Explorers, for students navigating Christian life and exploring their subjects and the world. The calendar will be published ahead of enrollment.
Is there an entrance exam?
Not at these ages. Enrollment starts with a conversation - the Academy wishes to know each family, and each family to know the school, so that both can determine the right fit.
