Providence Christian Academy, PCA Review

I was a high school student here and have a lot to say about my experience. Please take a moment to read it. (Disclaimer, I am using a pseudonym, but this is my authentic account of what Providence is like.)

For starters, diverse thought is strongly discouraged at this school. Those who do not fit the mold of Perfect Suburban Straight White Conservative Christian are often made to feel like outsiders. Staff turns a blind eye to this, even enables it by silencing conversations about racism and openly discriminating against the LGBTQ+ community. Teachers often teach their opinion as if it is fact, especially in Bible courses but elsewhere as well. Providence is home to a damagingly close-minded culture.

Academically, the school is okay, probably slightly above average. They don't offer a very wide range of courses, but some of them are high quality. Some standouts are AP Calculus with Coach Randrup, Physics with Mr. Aleman, and AP Art with Ms. Webb. This school also provided great accommodations for my learning disability. I am proud to say that I did end up going to a prestigious university upon my graduation from Prov.

Unfortunately, none of this is enough to make up for the emotional and spiritual trauma I endured here. Providence played a key role in pushing me away from the Christian church, and I am still processing my Providence experience in therapy years later. In conclusion, I consider my time at Providence to be a dirty stain on my life whose only positive effects were its ability to help me get into a good college.

In 2009, Bolivia beat Argentina 6-1. This was a huge L at the time for Argentina. You may ask, what was the score of this teams last game. Well you guessed it, 6-1 to Pacelli. Take the L

Love this school and everything about it. From the moment I walked through the front doors, I could feel God's presence and the feeling of family. The teachers and staff are compassionate, hard working and are always striving to get the best out of their students.

Amazing Christian private school. Loving teachers and faculty. Christ centered and exceptional learning opportunity!

I have made the most amazing friends at providence. Providence also helped my faith in Christ grow stronger, and glorifying him everyday.

My daughter has met the most wonderful and intelligent friends at Providence. She is part of the STEM Scholar program in which has has had numerous opportunities to discover her various passions in engineering. I love how involved she is in the school while still being able to take high levels of rigor in her classes. I feel she has gotten a truly wonderful education especially in the maths and sciences. We love how the class has numerous opportunities to grow together as a whole community as well as followers of Jesus Christ. Their worship team, AXIS, is like no other. The AXIS team provides true spiritual leadership in the school as well as a connective fiber throughout the grades. We are thankful that she has had 4 wonderful years at this precious school. We are so appreciative to all the teachers some of which we have got to know personally through school trips and activities. We are especially appreciative of the care and love they show towards their students. It is a wonderful school for anyone intrested in a covenant relationship with their child school.

We have had grandchildren at Providence for over 8 years. What a positive change from public school. Smaller classes, loving Christian teachers. The educational opportunities are outstanding. This is evidenced by the number of graduates being offered scholarships. Even though their enrollment is significantly lower than public schools, they excel in the arts and sports. A wonderful Christ-centered environment.

Providence Christian Academy is a fantastic school - strong academics, plenty of athletics with coaches who invest in their players on & off the field, and teachers who know the students' names and care about each one of them. It is one of the few Christian schools in the Atlanta area that will actually encourage, support and love on those with learning challenges. Our two boys have absolutely thrived here. I am thankful the school Administration cares so deeply for all of the students.

I went to this school here in the 90s and am now a parent with 3 children here (our 5th year). From the top down this place is led by people whom I respect and love wholeheartedly, and my appreciation continues to grow each year. They are intentional about every decision they make, and they work so hard to work with parents and students, covering everything in prayer. They are professional, and yet they make you feel at home. They don't claim to be perfect, and are very open to feedback, which shows their heart. The facilities are clean and inviting, with appropriate safety precautions and security personnel in place (while not burdensome). At the risk of sounding overly simplistic, the faculty and staff are just nice, Christ-centered people all around. They really are. I can't say enough. You just have to come see for yourself. Google reviews (in general) can sometimes be misleading, and tend to hit the extremes, so I recommend you just come check it out and talk to people yourself. For my 2 cents, I'm more than happy to brag about Providence.
