Providence Classical School is known for its outstanding academic programs and is the only classical, Christian JK-12 school in Williamsburg. PCS nurtures a child's love of learning and equips them with the tools to think and live as strong Christians. At PCS, our teachers and staff really get to know each child. We love, cherish, and encourage them to reach their full God-given potential.
Classical education uses history — from ancient to modern — as its organizing theme. Other subject areas are linked to history. For example, a student studying ancient Greece in history will read the literature of ancient Greeks, such as The Iliad and The Odyssey, works of ancient poet Homer. Art class might focus on drawing perspective using examples of classical Greek architecture. Related math and science topics could include a discussion of prolific Greek mathematician Archimedes’ inventions. Students learn through written and spoken words instead of through images such as pictures and videos. Such language-based learning requires the mind to work harder and increase connections between subjects.
PCS also places a strong emphasis on a school culture of good manners, holding the door for others, rising when a guest enters the room, rising to answer questions in class, giving appropriate greetings, and maintaining eye contact when carrying on a conversation with adults.
We are raising money to help keep tuition low and make a classical, Christian education accessible to anyone willing to pursue it!
