CIVIC EDUCATION
Prelude Prep has a robust civic education program that allows our students to engage with the school and the local community in meaningful ways. Our three-pillar approach includes:
- Growing for Giving
- All Prelude Prep students cultivate our school garden. Students grow food in our gardens, distributing it to our school and the local community.
- Community Service
- Prelude Prep students participate in quarterly service projects. Students study our greater community's needs and enact solutions to address the need.
- Student Government
- Our school-wide student government encourages students to share ideas and interests with school faculty and leadership. Students attend monthly town hall meetings where they vote on service projects, receive recognition for goals and achievements, participate in activities that build a strong school community, and learn from community leaders.
