Blues/Jazz Band
Providence is excited to offer a jazz band open to auditions for musicians in grades 5-12. Mr. Paske will be teaching students the history of Blues and Jazz while demonstrating how Blues/Jazz music is a cornerstone in the St. Louis area. We are planning several interesting concert opportunities.
Auditions will be open for piano, bass guitar, drums, and maybe an occasional vocalist.
Any student auditioning for the Blues/Jazz Band at Providence must currently be studying privately with an instructor, practice daily, and enjoy the performance arts.
Chess Club
The Fellowship Chess Club is in its fifth year at Providence and participates in the Gateway Chess League. Club meetings consist of short lessons, chess problems, and lots of chess. We conduct our own in-house tournament with prizes to be awarded to the winners. Also, all team members participate in two local US Chess Federation tournaments. All students in grades 5-12 are invited to join.
Membership dues: age 14 and under, $35; 15 and older, $47.
Dues covers membership in the US Chess Federation and all entry fees in two local tournament events. Members receive an official rating from the US Chess Federation to see how their ratings compare to other chess aficionados from all over the United States as well as track their own progress. In addition, students 15 and over receive the monthly US Chess Federation magazine. A portion of the dues is applied toward the purchase of chess accessories.
Beginners are welcome! Personal instruction is available.
Cub Scout Pack 788
Cub Scouting is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). The Cub Scouts are part of the nationwide Boy Scouts of America organization. Providence sponsors Pack 788, which is part of the Greater St. Louis Area Council.
Pack 788 meets twice monthly during the school year at Providence. During the summer, we meet at least once a month for activities.
Our Pack consists of more than just boys from Providence Christian Academy. We are well represented by homeschool boys and boys from other schools. Your son must be at least in first grade and no older than eleven to join.
The Pack is involved in many activities during the year. We start the year with our annual family campout, followed by Scouting for Food, Popcorn Sales, the Christmas Service Project, Blue and Gold Banquet, Pinewood Derby, the annual Bottle Rocket Launch, and Summer Camp. This is by no means the end all of that we do. The boys will have the opportunity to do more activities within their Den.
Fifth Grade History Trip
As the culmination of their study of American history, our 5th grade students take an extended historical tour of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, each year. See the 5th Grade Williamsburg Trip page for more details.
