Founded in 1997, Providence is a classical Christian school that educates students in pre-kindergarten through 12^th grade. We focus on classical methodology and liberal arts and include courses in logic, Latin, math, science, music, and rhetoric. Our discipleship-oriented culture provides a rich environment for cultivating each student, growing a community of well-equipped and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Mission & Vision

Providence Classical Christian School was established as a private, Christian school committed to providing a classical and biblically‑based education to young people in primary and secondary grade levels.

Our mission is to partner with Christian parents in educating their children, in the classical tradition, to think and act biblically and to pursue academic excellence in joyful submission to the Lord Jesus Christ. The vision statement of Providence Classical Christian School is embodied in each word found in the school name.

As a school, we seek to disciple students in partnership with Christian families. Yes, we teach them facts, skills, knowledge, and ideas. But more importantly, our primary goal is to teach students to love what is lovely, to think and act biblically, and to pursue academic excellence in joyful submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ-centered

Everything we do at Providence is grounded in historical Protestantism, as embodied in our statement of faith. The doctrines of grace inform school curriculum, pedagogy, enrollment policies, and educational goals. God’s sovereignty is acknowledged in all things as students, parents, and teachers submit to His authority as revealed in the Scriptures.

Classical

The classical trivium provides both the methodology and content of our instruction. Recognizing the grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages, we approach teaching in a way that corresponds to the child’s cognitive development and cultivates a life-long love of learning. An emphasis on the liberal arts (including math and science) helps students develop into readers and thinkers as they study the great works of the Western world. Students are trained to develop soundness of judgment, wisdom of speech, and integrity of conduct.

Christian

At Providence, Christ is central to all we do. Our commitment to graduating students with tender hearts, sharp minds, and biblical discernment flows from our conviction that all things cohere in Christ (Colossians 1:17), who is the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. This commitment underscores our high, but grace-filled, behavioral standards, our close-knit community, and our culture of discipleship. The final goal of a Providence education is not a mere transfer of ideas but the training up of godly young men and women with renewed minds (Romans 12:1-2) and servant hearts (Philippians 2:5-8).

School

We affirm that parents are the primary educators of their children and that we exist to assist them in educating and training their children. As a school, we seek to complement, not replace, the necessary training and teaching provided by both church and family. Foundational to the vision of the school is the concept of in loco parentis, a Latin phrase meaning that we work alongside the parent. The students study under skilled and godly teachers to gain knowledge, understanding, and eventually wisdom.
