A Classical Education

Providence Christian Academy is a classical school in St. Louis, Missouri, which offers a unique educational experience for students K-12. We employ the Trivium, a time tested and "classical" approach to learning which focuses on the three stages of learning: Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric. In the Grammar stage, children are like sponges, and are able to memorize large amounts of important facts. Later, they move to the Logic stage in which they begin to question and reason through the nature of things. Finally, they begin to express themselves in the Rhetoric stage, and so we equip them with the tools they need to persuasively write and speak with clarity and eloquence.

Providence Christian Academy is located at 5293 S. Lindbergh, St. Louis MO (minutes from the I-44 & 270 interchange, and the I-55 & 270 interchange). Providence is a member of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools (ACCS) and the American Classical League.

Please give us a call and allow us to share our vision of Classical Christian education with you: (314) 842-6846. For further reading on what classical education is all about, we highly recommend Dorothy Sayers' famous essay The Lost Tools of Learning.
