The goal of education is to “address the whole student, his emotional and spiritual sides as well as his rational,” according to David Hicks in his book, Norms and Nobility. This is much easier said than done, particularly in a culture that tends to devalue such aims.

Challenging curriculum

High expectations are crucial for a school that adheres to noble norms. Children don’t achieve high standards apart from high expectations. At Providence, we have a rigorous, classical curriculum that sets the academic bar at a high and achievable level. When students work hard in an environment that is structured, challenging, and filled with support and encouragement, they can thrive and achieve at high levels. With coursework rich in math, science, and the liberal arts, students develop into readers and thinkers about all areas of life. Our small student-teacher ratio ensures that teachers are able to work with each student, learning to see them as individuals created in the image of God.

Accreditation

Our rigorous ACCS accreditation places us among the best schools in the U.S. The Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) has accredited Providence since 2004. Nationally, classical Christian schools consistently outscore other schools, both public and private, on standardized tests.

Christ-centered

There is hardly a more religious activity that we as parents are involved in than the education of our children. We have conformed everything about Providence to the Word of God—the school’s existence, the philosophy of teaching, and the selection of our curriculum. As Abraham Kupyer famously said, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: Mine!” Jesus Christ is the Lord of our hearts and He’s the Lord of everything: poetry, mathematics, history, economics, politics, chemistry, athletics and literature.

All subjects are taught from a biblical worldview with Christ at the center of all learning. We select and develop our curriculum to teach children how to think, speak, write, and live in such a persuasive way as to out-think this present culture in whatever disciplines they might later pursue and to be able to do so self-consciously as Christians.

How Providence students perform

While we don’t build our curriculum with a view to higher SAT scores, we are confident that will be the case. As they graduate, Providence seniors regularly score top SAT scores, with nearly 20% of eligible students being recognized as National Merit scholars, semifinalists, or commended scholars.
