I gladly send all five of my children to Providence Christian Academy, and I have since it's inception. My oldest daughter will be graduating from there this year and I have no regrets about all the years we have been involved with the school. The administration truly cares about the families there and they have a sincere desire to provide quality Christian education to everybody. If you are looking for a review to trust, I'd urge you to consider the words from those of us with years of experience at the school as opposed to somebody who only spent an afternoon there.

My wife and I are Christians and believe in the Redemptive power of following Christ’s teachings, and the infinite nature of His love for All. We considered sending one of our children to Providence Christian Academy, but ended up walking out during a Pharisee-Like interview with its Headmaster, Mr. Shin. Mr. Shin actually did us a huge favor, as he revealed both his outer and his inner self to us that day. Interestingly, Mr. Shin only considers Baptists to be Christians, and the School should actually be called Providence Baptist Academy. We toured the school and found its physical infrastructure simple and adequate. We arrived in the afternoon, and it was a bit troubling to see around 30 children in an unsupervised setting in the cafeteria. I would have expected to see classes or instruction, but instead saw children entertaining themselves in a large municipal space. After the tour, we were told that Mr. Shin likes to meet all prospective parents. Mr. Shin began the interview by asking us the nature of our faith and belief. He then recounted his odd conversion story, telling us that he had previously been an atheist. Eventually he decided to become a believer. Subsequently during the time his wife was putting him through seminary (away from home), she developed a gambling problem. He asked her to stop gambling, but when she didn’t, he leveraged her credit card debt to divorce her and gain ‘sole custody’ of their children. He paid back this debt, and became involved in a ministry, but that didn’t work out well, so he decided to open a school instead. Missing from his story was any mention of Jesus Christ, Christ’s love for us, and how we can improve ourselves by following Christ’s teachings. During our interview, Mr. Shin asked where we attended church, announcing to us that because we were not Baptists we are not ‘true Christians’ and would not be going to Heaven. At this point we walked out of the interview, since it had become obvious that this was not a school where we would want to send our children. Our understanding of Christ’s message is that it is intended for all Mankind. We did not experience that compassion from Mr. Shin. We would not want our children exposed to Mr. Shin’s narrow interpretation of Christ’s love. Instead of hearing Paul’s message, we were confronted with the message of Saul. It is unfortunate that someone who ‘self labels’ themselves as a Christian has such a limited understanding of the nature of Christ’s teachings. We are so fortunate that our children will not be subjected to this narrow and limited interpretation of Christ’s message. It is unfortunate that Google does not allow us to give zero stars in a review.

Trash, the most honest and straightforward way my wife and I can describe this school as a whole. After asking around and talking to those who had experience with this school I was distraught to discover that the academy was much less of the safe, well-developed, Christian environment that the school poses as but, rather more of an unethical and loony environment that I do not believe to be positive for any child. I would highly recommend any parent to seriously reconsider before sending their child here. I originally thought this school would be a great private school for my child to be free from the persecution of public schools; however, I was wrong and do not wish to see any parent make the same decision.

My first child attended PK3, PK4 and just finished kindergarten. Have been extremely happy with my child's progress in learning in all areas; social, academic and in Christ. My second child has been making the same progress and enjoying his progress. Teachers are great and children are also just wonderful. We are with PCA for the 4th year.
