The Prairie Way

CICS Prairie is a K-8 public charter school nestled in the Roseland neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. Our school boasts a dedicated staff that prides itself on forming close relationships with parents and the surrounding community. CICS Prairie’s educational focus is on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM) curriculum aimed to better prepare our students for college and careers. Student voice and choice is a driving factor as middle school students will elect STEAM related courses each quarter while still enjoying opportunities to engage in cross-curricular Problem Based Learning (PBL). In recent years, the percentage of CICS Prairie graduates accepted to CPS Selective Enrollment High Schools has steadily increased.
