School Notes
- School Motto: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength'
- At Providence, education is more than academics - it's a sacred calling to nurture the whole child. Our Montessori classrooms are designed to spark curiosity, cultivate independence, and build a foundation of faith that shapes both character and competence. We serve students from toddler through high school, offering thoughtfully prepared environments where students work at their own pace toward mastery, guided by trained educators who act as mentors rather than lecturers. Spiritual formation is woven into daily life through prayer, service, and reflection. Our adolescent programs provide real-world experiences like entrepreneurship, internships, and community leadership that equip students to thrive beyond the classroom. Providence families value authentic connection, Christ-centered values, and an education that honors each child's unique gifts and growth.

School Reviews

Providence CMC has been an incredible place for our son, Franklin, who is in his second year, as well as a great fit for our family. Their Christian-focused Montessori approach to learning is perfect for our inquisitive, adventurous little boy. The staff are amazing and truly love their students deeply, and it shows. Franklin has great relationships with his teachers but also with other staff members because it's such a close-knit community. I also love that he gets exposure to older kids and even has a few friendships with some of the older kids who serve as mentors to him. We are so blessed to be a part of this community!
