Providence Classical School of Rock Hill

For by him all things were created in heaven and on earth…all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. --Colossians 1:16-17

We Are Christian…We acknowledge God as the Creator and Sustainer of all things. We believe that He has revealed Himself through his Creation and ultimately through His Word. He is the author of all truth. We were created to know Him and bring Him glory in every aspect of life.

We Are a School… We exist to partner with like-minded parents in helping students develop discipline, a lifelong love of learning, and the ability to think critically. We believe these skills will prepare them to accomplish whatever God calls them to do in life. We seek to point students to God as they explore what He has created. We believe that God is glorified as students honor Him with their minds, seeking out His truth.

We Are Classical…We employ methods of teaching and learning that have stood the test of time and that also find support in modern developmental theory. It is based on a model that affirms that learning occurs in three stages:
The early years are the grammar stage, during which students learn basic facts across the disciplines.
This lays the foundation for the logic stage, during which students learn the “why” behind the facts they have mastered.
Finally students reach the rhetoric stage in which they learn to thoughtfully express and defend their ideas.
Classical education also includes the study of Latin, the foundation of many modern languages. With additional emphases on mathematical and critical thinking skills, our school will maintain a rigorous and well-balanced approach.
