Admissions Policy
We are grateful that you are considering Providence Christian School for your child. Our school is characterized by high expectations and a commitment to work with parents to equip students academically, physically, and spiritually through a thoroughly Christian atmosphere. Our approach to education rests squarely on the belief that practical life skills such as mathematics, science, and language arts are understood and applied properly only when they are learned in the context of the Christian concept of time and eternity outlined in the Word of God. This means that our curriculum and the teachers who implement it in the classroom are committed to this approach.
Because we recognize that what we do is impacted by the goals of parents for their children, we ask that you carefully review and complete a school application. It reflects our policy of only accepting students for whom one or both parents have a commitment to the Christian faith in their daily lives. We believe a strong school/family partnership with shared goals will result in a meaningful Christian education.
