Providence Academy opened its doors in August of 1993. It represented the concerted efforts and convictions of primarily seven families.
After reading Doug Wilson's book entitled Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning, and studying the classical, Trivium model, as described by Dorothy Sayers in her 1940's article, "The Lost Tools of Learning", it became their goal to provide high-quality Christian education for children by means of the Trivium.
These families were Providence Academy's first and founding steering committee.
Providence quickly became a charter member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS) and regularly attends the annual ACCS conferences.
Providence's mission is to train our students to live and think according to a biblical, Christ-centered worldview.
We accomplish this by partnering with parents to provide a rigorous, classical education that instills a lifelong love of learning.
