This is a superlative education! Through deep and meaningful relationships with faculty and other students, our boys are receiving an excellent education, while being prepared for lives of meaning and purpose. Smaller schools are the way of the future - or should be. Where faculty and staff are in control of the on-campus culture; where students are truly known. Providence does this strategically and intentionally. There are certainly sacrifices to go there, but they are well worth it. If you believe in a creator god, one who is intimately engaged in our world, then the words of one Providence teacher make a ton of sense. She expressed that teaching any subject like math, language or economics without Christ, is like being limited to teaching in black and white. Providence allows teachers to teach in full living color - and our boys have profoundly benefitted.

My 3-year old daughter has attended Providence Preschool for the last 3 months, and she is absolutely thriving. She especially loves the creative art projects and fun songs her teachers introduce every week. We couldn't have asked for a more loving and caring team to shape our daughter's mind and spirit.
