read moreSince 1955, Providence has been educating students who are intellectually engaged, spiritually grounded, and steadfastly committed to serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable. Our community's values are more than words on a poster; they are lived every day: compassion, dignity, justice, excellence, and integrity. Providence is a place of learning where students can become the best versions of themselves. Our world does not need more of the same. We need Pioneers. We need young people who can think critically, ask the tough questions, and seek to solve the most pressing challenges of our time.
