Providence Classical Christian School

About Us

Our mission is to partner with Christian parents in educating their children, in the classical tradition, to think and act biblically and to pursue academic excellence in joyful submission to the Lord Jesus Christ.

History of Providence

In 1997 a small group of fathers started Providence Classical Christian School.  Their hope was to educate their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, using the classical framework as the guide for instruction. These men, and the families that later joined with them, desired a school that would teach their children to think biblically about God and His creation, about loving Him with all their minds, about imitating his commands in their actions and about learning to be like Him in all their ways.

 

The first classes were held two days per week in a small church basement in Bellevue, Washington. The school had eighteen students and four teachers.  Third and fourth, fifth and sixth, and seventh and eighth grades were combined that first year.  It was a small beginning, but God continued to richly bless Providence, and enrollment continued to grow as more families caught the vision and joined the Providence community.

 

In 2004 Providence became a charter member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS) and remains an active member and participant in the ACCS. Today Providence has 189 students, and has experienced enrollment growth for five consecutive years. The curriculum is rich in the core liberal arts as well as math and science. Students take courses in Latin, logic, and rhetoric as they learn to think and act biblically and pursue academic excellence in all they do. Along with the core curriculum, Providence offers extra-curricular activities such as drama, athletics, and music. In 2010, the boys' soccer team won the state title, becoming the first 1B school ever to win the 1B/2B state title!

 

We continue growing in our understanding of what it means to be a classical Christian school serving families and students, and we look forward to seeing our graduates serving in the calling that God has for them wherever He may place them.  We also look forward to their growing into faithful Christian leaders in their community and in their homes.
