Boone Prairie School is located on the NW side of Indianapolis in Whitestown. Boone Prairie is a Christian Classical Hybrid with a Hillsdale Academy foundation with influences of Charlotte Mason. Character, moral integrity, critical thinking, entrepreneurship, leadership and more are part of the every day environment at the school. A classical education is based on great ideas, great books (including primary sources when possible), foundational truths and principles, and enduring traditions and skills. It holds to long-established standards. Charlotte Mason method influences Boone Prairie School curriculum through living books, habits and outdoor learning as weather permits. Living books, usually written in narrative form, are chosen over text books when available. Living books give our students ideas and make a subject come alive, not just facts to be memorized. Narration in their own words helps secure the information in their minds. Academic rigor is a cornerstone of classical education. The foundation of our curriculum is based on the educational model used at Hillsdale Academy- one of the nations leading classical schools. We value the knowledge and resources provided to us by Hillsdale. Classical education places a high value on problem solving and written and oral communication. By the time our students reach high school they are well-versed enough to participate in any conversation and join any debate. Their leadership training prepares them to pursue any career and excel in life. Todays classical education is a reformation that perfectly blends old and new. Boone Prairie School is aimed at presenting Boone County and surrounding area parents with the best possible education for their children. Students who transfer into Boone Prairie are placed into appropriate math, writing/grammar, Latin and phonics levels.
