Providence Academy

Providence Academy’s admission process is designed to admit qualified students who are capable of benefiting from the school’s college preparatory program and making a positive contribution to the school community.  The Office of Admissions works to identify, attract and retain a diverse group of students who possess the following characteristics:  intellectual curiosity, willingness to serve others and community with a Christ-centered heart, self-motivation and a solid work ethic, admirable character, special talents, and an enthusiasm for involvement in the school’s extra-curricular activities.

Step 1: Apply for Admissions

Families complete and submit the application for admissions, along with all applicable admissions and testing fees.

Step 2: Attend a Patriot Preview Event and read the "Introduction to Classical Education" book by Chris Perrin.

Step 3: Admissions Test

Once the application, application fee, and all required documents are received by the academy, families will notified of the date for the student admissions test. The prospective student should plan for the admissions test to take approximately one hour.

Step 4: Family Interview

Upon completion of the student admissions test, the office of admissions will schedule a family interview. Both parents/legal guardians and applicant are required to attend. During the family interview, the admissions counselor will gain a greater understanding of the academic, spiritual, and extracurriculuar goals for the applicant. The admissions counselor will also take this opportunity to review the results of the admissions test. Upon completion of steps 1-4, the Office of Admissions will meet as a committee and make a decision regarding admissions.

Step 5: Begin the Journey

Upon acceptance to PCCA, families will receive a registration packet. The family will be responsible for completing and returning the registration packet, along with the applicable registration fees.  The deadline for returning registration forms is 10 days from receipt of the acceptance letter. If the registration/electives forms aren’t completed and returned within 10 business days, the student’s spot may be released to another applicant.  With classes at 90+%capacity, applicants are encouraged to return the registration forms by the deadline.
