Overview
Bay City Christian School exists to partner with Christian families in the continual growth of students toward academic excellence and spiritual maturity.
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.
