The Bishop McVinney School was founded in 1973 by a group of parents and educators looking to create a regional school in order to save imperiled Catholic schools in the city of Providence. Bishop McVinney School has thrived in this role and continues to serve the Catholic educational needs of a diverse urban population in South Providence. From preschool through 8th grade, McVinney provides an organized and inspired education to its students, thanks to the administration, faculty, and parents devoted to the academic, emotional, and spiritual enrichment of their children. The school also has an active middle school athletics program, though students must meet academic requirements to participate. The school, also a licensed Day Care facility, offers before and after school programs as well as a summer program. "The school is like your family," says one review, "and the teachers do care, which is the best part. You don’t get that kind of attention at other schools."
