Overview
Saint Rose Catholic School is a ministry of Saint Rose of Lima Catholic Church and unites with the family to provide a quality Catholic education in a God-centered environment, promoting learning, love & service, which prepares individuals for the responsibilities of tomorrow.
This mission drives all that we do at Saint Rose from prayers together at 8:00AM until the last activity of the evening.Our parents, parishioners, faculty and staff work together to provide an atmosphere conducive to the development of the whole child.
Because of this commitment to work together for the benefit of the child, you will see parents and parishioners volunteering at Saint Rose, in the office, classroom, lunch room and playground.
Parishioners contribute to tuition assistance so that more children will have the opportunity for the Saint Rose experience.Saint Rose faculty and staff daily strive to provide the children with all they need to excel in lifelong learning and to accomplish our mission.
Providence Christian Academy’s mission is to teach students to seek God’s truth and equip them with the tools for a lifetime of learning.
Providence Christian Academy was established in 1996 as an academically advanced, inter-denominational school without affiliation to any one church body.
PCA is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of Christians who are primarily parents of PCA students and alumni parents and interested community leaders.
The academy currently serves 350 students in grades preK- 12.
PCA operates on a three-pillared foundation. The first pillar is a Christian worldview.
Believing that all truth is God’s Truth, PCA provides a biblically-based education which teaches students to approach their studies and all of life through the perspective of the Bible.
The second pillar is a classical education. Understanding that people learn best through a series of stages outlined in the time-honored and proven model of the Trivium, PCA offers a rigorous yet delightful experience in each content area.
