Prosperity Heights provides children with a top quality, individualized education in a safe and respectful environment. Most apparent at Prosperity is the focus on maximizing each child's abilities with an array of choices for all types of learners.

Trained tutors reinforce student learning and provide services to students needing additional help. Technology is available to enhance learning in all subjects.
