REVIEW THE COMMUNITY COVENANT
As an educational community of Christ-followers, we seek to live according to biblical instructions and commands, and we invite each of our staff, faculty, and students to live in covenant with one another. The expression of the Christian community Prairie College aspires to be, most fully described in the Bible, is summarized in our Community Covenant and Statement of Human Sexuality. Covenant is a term that describes a voluntary relational commitment and thus the Community Covenant expresses the relational commitments that we make to God and to one another at Prairie College.
For all important dates throughout the school year, please view the academic calendar HERE.

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.
Invest in the next generation of missional professionals. Each year Prairie College distributes over $500,000 in scholarships and bursaries to students. We are grateful for each gift that reduces the burden of students’ tuition and allows students to fulfill their God-given professions.
Encourage inmates in five institutions across Alberta to discover or reconnect with Jesus Christ. This fund assists the students studying the Certificate in Bible program with scholarships, resources for classes, and instruction.
Prairie College is educating students to pursue a Biblical foundation for life and career. Your contribution to this fund assists in minimizing the College’s general operating expenses.
