PRACTICAL NURSE
“An advantage of going to Prairie is the Biblical background, which is so important, especially in nursing. I will use the skills I learned in the classroom, labs, clinical, and my preceptorship to help my future patients to the best of my ability. Prairie’s training enables me to have a Christ-centred nursing practice.” ~Naleah K.

“I know my Outdoor Leadership education has equipped me with skills as a leader, an instructor, a guide, and a responsible, active and courageous human being for whatever career or ministry I may enter in the future. It has also equipped me with confidence, public speaking and teaching skills that will be invaluable in areas of potential interest for a career.” ~Judah S.
THEOLOGY
“My experience with my professors at Prairie has been excellent. They are so personable. They really care about you as a whole person and not just for the fact that you sit in their class and do assignments. They check up on you because you are not just another number in the classroom.” ~Providence

Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact
We have launched our
Campaign for Greater Impact
to provide students with the very best learning opportunities and campus facilities for the decades ahead.
In Phase One of this Campaign, we plan to invest in much-needed campus renewal, including: upgraded Infrastructure, a new Student Residence, Cafeteria, Worship Auditorium, and expanded Aviation Training Centre. A modern campus requires an investment that is bold, and even expensive, but each Campaign Project is strategic, and designed to enhance Prairie’s campus and student life experience.

This expansion of PATC’s facility is a key project of Prairie’s Campaign for Greater Impact. It will increase the College’s capacity to train a new generation of Christian aviators to serve God in missions, and also address the growing need for trained pilots in the commercial aviation sector.
