Providence Academy Photo #1 - Providence equips students for lives of wisdom, virtue, and eloquence to the glory of God by teaching them to love what is true, good, and beautiful, using the Scriptures and the classical liberal arts, assisting parents in fulfilling their God-given responsibility of training their children to be lifelong disciples of Christ and virtuous citizens.
Providence Academy Photo #2 - Another key element of our school is the cultivation of student friendship, camaraderie, and collaboration beyond the classroom. Life as a school community extends to our daily morning prayer time as a whole school, our weekly upper school chapel, athletics, service projects, and other school groups and activities.
Providence Academy Photo #3 - As a Christian school we care deeply about the spiritual growth of our students and encourage them as disciples of Jesus Christ. Our hope is that students graduate from Providence equipped to be wise, virtuous, and eloquent citizens of the kingdom of God, faithful followers and witnesses of Jesus Christ who are committed to the common good of their neighbors.
Providence Academy Photo #4 - A Providence education is primarily concerned with who a student is rather than what a student knows. As we pursue rigorous academics, we do so with the aim of applying the knowledge and skills acquired to form a fully realized person.
Providence Academy Photo #5 - A classical education helps students know their place in the Great Conversation, learning from those who have come before and interacting thoughtfully with the ideas that have shaped society through the millennia. As a PreK-12 school, our curriculum in each grade builds on the prior year with thoughtful intentionality.
Providence Academy Photo #6 - Beginning with the end in mind, all teachers are well aware of the final goals for each student. Formative years in the lower school (PreK-6) are purposefully building toward the upper school (7th-12th) curriculum and the cultivation of our ideal graduate.

I came to Providence for high school with very high expectations. All of them were met, and more. The teachers genuinely care about their students, the atmosphere is warm and that of a very close-knit community. I found the small class sizes quite nice because I could form a deeper relationship with my peers than I would`ve, had there been more people in my class. With a strong classical and ChristIan worldview, Providence was refreshing to me, like a breath of clean air in the tumultuous ocean of secular society. I would definitely recommend Providence to anyone looking for a good classical school-and not because I have a biased loyalty. I genuinely believe that Providence will enrich families as it did me.

Our children have benefited tremendously from attending Providence. The classical model mixed with Christian values has been a blessing to our entire family. All of the teachers our children have had have been amazing both in their curriculum delivery as well as they way in which they have loved our children. We would recommend this school to anyone looking for a rigorous, thoughtful, Christian education for their child.

A perfect school to transition to from homeschooling. The small classes and extraordinary staff truly make it feel like a homeschool school. The teachers not only focus on the academics, but the heart of the student. Truly one of a kind school that is a true gem!
