Mission
As a Christian independent school, the mission of Providence Academy is to provide “Uncompromising excellence in educating and equipping students with Truth.” We have an amazing team of faculty and staff that are committed to serving the school’s mission with Christ-honoring excellence.
At Providence, we encourage, motivate, and inspire students through an exceptional educational program infused with a Christian worldview. Students are challenged in all areas of their lives – academically, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially – as they develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Vision
Providence Academy envisions a world transformed by our students – future leaders who apply their Christian values to critically think, problem solve, and creatively impact their community.
Five core values establish the foundation of Providence Academy
TRUTH
Scripture is the revealed Word of God and is taught as truth, and that truth is integrated into the learning experience. Students are taught
- all truth is God’s truth
- they are created in the image of God
- they must confront the issue of sin and redemption
- they can know God as revealed in Christ and made present through the Holy Spirit
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
The Christian mind should be the best mind, enlightened by the mind of Christ and integrating God’s principles with academic pursuits. The aim is to develop students with a biblical world-view, who are well prepared academically with an emphasis on
- accurately interpreting the Word of God
- mastering communications skills
- showing proficiency in mathematics and science
- understanding history and God’s role in it
- appreciating literature and the arts
- reasoning and thinking critically
- finding, analyzing, evaluating, and appropriately using information
CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS
The School must have a Board of Directors, a Head of School, a faculty, and a staff who are committed followers of Christ, teaching and leading from a biblically integrated perspective. Those engaged in the School’s governance, leadership, and teaching will
- model Christ in their teaching and leading
- understand and focus on achieving the School’s vision and expected outcomes

Every learning experience aims to enable students to reach their full potential in Christ. Learning will include a focus on
