Our thorough admissions process is designed to help you ascertain if Providence would be a good fit for your family’s needs and educational goals.

1. Attend an informational meeting.

These 90 minute-long meetings are scheduled monthly (with varying days and times to accommodate each family’s schedule; see “Informational Meetings and Campus Tours” for dates, times, and location) and provide the best introduction to the school. Admission packets are only available to families who have attended an informational meeting. Childcare is not provided.

2. Read and pray.

Read the admissions packets that include information on the classical approach, the blended model, and our philosophy of education. Prayerfully consider your family’s needs and educational goals and whether Providence could help you meet those goals. Additional resources you may want to consider as you learn about Providence are listed below. Please note that although these works as a whole have influenced our philosophy, we do not necessarily hold to each element of the authors’ ideas in the core values or practices of Providence.

• Wisdom and Eloquence, Robert Littlejohn and Charles Evans
• “The Lost Tools of Learning,” Dorothy Sayers
• “Education Is,” Sonya Shafer
• Kingdom Education, Glen Schultz
