The parent-child relationship has always been central to truly vibrant learning. Providence partners with parents by using an alternative, collaborative schedule: half homeschool, half traditional school.
Providence is a Christian school that seeks to lead young minds from a sense of God-shaped wonder. We are amazed by His saving kindness to us and by His glory that we see in all of life.
Learning is more than just collecting facts; it's the way we approach life. By embracing a Classical approach to education, Providence gives students the tools they need to become skilled learners both now and for years to come.

An excerpt:
"So we may say to ourselves what Frodo, burdened with the task of destroying the Ring of Power, said to Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings: 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.' It’s a perfectly natural and honest thing to say. In the past month, I’d guess that most of us have said, at one point or another, 'I wish none of this had happened.'
Gandalf’s reply is one of beautiful reality: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.'"
The saying that "when the world gives you lemons, make lemonade" basically sums this up. We choose what we do in response to whatever comes our way.
