About Us

Our mission at Providence Classical Academy is to partner with families to provide a classical and Christian education at an extraordinary value to the glory of God.

Vision

Providence Classical Academy envisions graduating students who, guided by a commitment to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ, love Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30), and embody virtues, wisdom, and eloquence. Grounded in the truth of scripture, as illuminated in Psalm 119:105, our graduates will actively serve and advance the Kingdom of God, impacting their local communities and the world for generations to come.

Our goal is to nurture graduates who think critically, listen discerningly, and articulate with precision, evaluating their experiences through the lens of Scripture, as encouraged in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, in joyful submission to God. Equipped with knowledge and social grace, they will distinguish biblical principles from cultural influences, remaining unwavering in their pursuit of righteousness, as stated in Matthew 5:6.

We strive for students well-prepared for any situation, possessing both information and the wisdom to apply it, as described in Proverbs 4:7. Socially graceful and spiritually gracious, they will understand the tools of learning, grow in understanding, and recognize the limitations of worldly wisdom. Their hearts for the lost will be coupled with the courage to dissuade those stumbling towards destruction, all while exemplifying genuine religion rooted in love for the Lord Jesus Christ, marked by humility and gratitude to God, reflecting James 1:27.

Statement of Faith

  • Holy Scripture is the written revelation of God, verbally inspired of the Holy Spirit through the instrument of holy men, self-testifying, infallible, and authoritative in all that it says, forming the complete canon of the Old and New Testament, which is necessary and sufficient for a proper knowledge of God, self, and salvation.

  • God, who in one essence subsists in three coequal and coeternal persons—namely, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit--is without mixture and without division a holy, absolute, infinite, immutable, personal, spiritual, omnipotent, omniscient, and righteous being, who in His own eternal and independent counsel, ordained all that transpires in time, created all that has and will exist in space, and sovereignly governs them providentially to their final, predestinated purposes and destinations.

  • Man was created morally upright in the image of God to glorify and enjoy Him forever within the covenant of works by taking dominion and filling the earth with the children of God, yet has fallen from this original state by Adam’s transgression, which has brought universal death and depravity to the human race, consequently disenabling any person from properly fulfilling their divine purpose, which in return ensures the universal wrath and judgment of God.

  • Jesus Christ, who is one in essence with God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of a virgin in His incarnation, having without mixture or confusion a divine and human nature in one person. He is the only Savior of the world, and the Redeemer and Head of the Church--anointed by the Spirit as Prophet, Priest, and King in His baptism, establishing righteousness by obeying the covenant of works in His life, legally propitiating for the sins of His people in His death, bringing forth life in His resurrection (establishing the gospel of the covenant of grace), and being exalted by God with all power, authority, and honor in His ascension, where He continues to mediate and reign in heaven until He subdues all of God’s enemies underneath His footstool.

  • Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit (who has been sent by Christ into the world to testify of Christ Jesus, and to convict the world of sin) whereby He graciously and effectually applies the redemptive benefits of the cross to the elect by imparting faith through the power of the gospel (which legally unites believers to the imputed righteousness of Christ for the forgiveness of sins and brings them into the adoption as children of God) in regenerating and indwelling them (which establishes a holy nature that leads to the mortification of the flesh and progressive sanctification) as He continues to strengthen them in the knowledge of the Lord so they persevere in repentance, faith, and good works with the assurance of future glorification and life eternal with God.

  • The church is the universal and invisible body of Christ that consists of all the elect throughout history that is visibly manifested in time through local fellowships of believers who have committed to be accountable to one another under the headship of Christ by collectively submitting, instructing, admonishing, and caring for one another under the oversight of their ordained leaders; as they have been spiritually united together in Christ Jesus to uphold the truth in holiness by worshiping God through preaching and teaching, singing, reading the Word, observing the ordinances, caring out its discipline, and seeking to make disciples and reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • Though Christ Jesus has already fulfilled many of the Old Testament prophecies when He engrafted believing Gentiles with believing Jews into the Kingdom of God at His First Coming, the church still awaits the consummation of the Kingdom, the general resurrection of the dead, the Day of Judgment, and the creation of the New Earth which will occur at the Second Coming of Christ.

History

In the heart of 2019, amidst the joyful chaos of parenting toddlers, Michael and Emily Drew began to research educational philosophies for their future students. It was in this research they discovered a treasure trove of wisdom in classical Christian education, a model that resonated with their deepest convictions yet was a path untrodden in their own upbringing. Enthralled by its rich history and holistic approach, Michael and Emily knew they had found their calling—not just for their family but for others seeking the same standard.

As the dream took root, the Drews’ vision began to attract kindred spirits. Divine providence guided them to Dr. Luke Broom and his wife, Mikayla—who shared a mutual yearning for a transformative educational experience grounded in Christian values. United by a shared vision and driven by faith, these families saw beyond the horizon, envisioning a school that would serve as a beacon of excellence and spiritual growth in Conway, Arkansas.

Together, they embarked on a journey of preparation, fueled by weekly planning sessions, extensive research, and fervent prayer. Their collaborative spirit and dedication were the bedrock upon which Providence Classical Academy was built. As the academic year of 2024/2025 approached, the founders’ dreams crystallized into reality, marking the inaugural year.

The founding of Providence Classical Academy is a testament to the power of faith, community, and shared vision. It stands as a shining example of how divine guidance, combined with unwavering commitment, can forge a path that not only enlightens young minds but also nurtures souls, crafting a legacy of educational excellence that will echo through generations.
