Providence Day School exists to inspire in its students a passion for learning, a commitment to personal integrity and a sense of social responsibility. At Providence Day School, we believe that students should be astute thinkers and persistent, creative problem solvers. We believe that the school community should help each student maximize individual potential, explore unique interests and develop self-confidence. We believe that students should be encouraged to try new endeavors and take risks without fear of failure. We believe that teachers are a significant influence on the lives of our students; therefore, we exercise great care in selecting faculty members. In addition to demonstrating excellence in their fields of instruction, they must love working with students. We believe that the success of our students depends on a partnership which includes teachers, parents, administrators, support staff, grandparents, alumni and friends. We encourage the extended school family to be active in each student's development. Parents should expect that their involvement will make a difference and we believe in developing within our students an ability to appreciate and value the differences among people in our school community, as well as those in the larger world around us. ...read more
