Providence Day School, a private college-prep institution, boasts a 100 percent graduation rate for its nearly 2,000 students in grades K-12.
Each teacher, who were selected for excellence in their fields of instruction, has just 11 students in their classroom, and they encourage their charges to be determined, independent thinkers; risk-takers; and problem-solvers who are aware of global and community issues and are unafraid to express themselves.
Extracurricular activities at the school include volleyball, soccer, and football, as well as clubs like chess, Lego club, and drama. The school’s two-story library features electronic databases, research materials, and a wide range of technology.
Middle schoolers can access a clubhouse for snack time, studying, art projects, computer work, indoor games, and relaxation. Other school activities include games, music lessons, club meetings, and campus events.

I have been at providence day for over 10 years now. I love every moment I spend there and truly feel at home when on campus. It has provided me with a great community of people that I know I will be able to rely on for the rest of my life. While the course load is rigorous, I know that my teachers will always find ways to help me succeed.
9/27/2025
Wonderful community, excellent academics, gets students well prepared for college. Great balance between sports, arts and academics. Small class sizes allows lots of student/teacher interaction. Tuition is high and increases significantly each year.
7/10/2024
Providence Day School is a wonderful place to spend your time as a high schooler. The school supports you very well in all of your classes. However, we do lack extracurricular support, such as clubs and competitions. Nevertheless, Providence Day is able to make that up with its stellar sports teams.

If you are looking to apply here, no matter what grade you're in, I wouldn't reccommend it. It's a very good school for academics and sports, but nothing past that. I was bullied from 4th grade to 6th grade when I left, and I wished I had never gone. It left a lasting impact on my mental health, and...

The Board of Trustees urgently requires a replacement, as numerous issues plague the school. Unfortunately, the board is neglecting its responsibilities, failing to hold the leadership team accountable and make decisions in the school's best interest.
