School Overview

PrairieCare in Edina operates a **Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)**, which serves as an intensive outpatient mental health service designed for youth and adolescents who require more support than traditional weekly therapy but do not need 24/7 inpatient hospitalization. Located at 6545 France Avenue South, the facility provides a structured, therapeutic environment where students spend a significant portion of their day engaged in clinical interventions, group therapy, and psychiatric management.

The primary goal of this program is to bridge the gap between intensive inpatient care and routine outpatient treatment. By offering a comprehensive "school-day" model of care, PrairieCare Edina helps students manage acute mental health challenges—such as depression, anxiety, or behavioral regulation issues—while maintaining their connection to their home life and community. The program is designed to be highly collaborative, often coordinating with the student’s home school district to ensure that academic progress is maintained and that the transition back to a full-time school setting is supported once the student is ready.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
