School Reviews

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!
