Notre Dame De La Baie Academy vs. Providence Academy

Notre Dame de la Baie Academy, as an educational ministry of the Roman Catholic Church, educates the whole person by developing each student's Christian faith, commitment to service, and full academic potential within a caring Church community.

We want them to have a strong academic base and form positive friendships so they can make good choices when facing the pressures of modern society.

Raising teenagers today is challenging. They are exposed to many influences outside of our homes.

We want to protect them, yet help them find their place in this ever-changing world.

When faith, values, and morals are integrated into the academic setting, we give our students the best opportunity to develop their minds, bodies, and souls.

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.
