Lots of adventure was had at Providence last week! 🏕️

Our Lower Elementary students headed to Cedar Ridge, spending their days fishing, practicing archery, and soaking up time outdoors with classmates.

Meanwhile, our Upper Elementary students took on Pine Mountain, an overnight adventure filled with hiking, cooking , basket weaving, and so much more.

Maria Montessori believed that “the higher levels of perfection all come through social life.” Friendship, to her, was not a break from real learning. It was part of how a child reaches her full potential. Our mixed-age classrooms put children together for years at a time, and that stretch of time is what turns a group of classmates into an actual community, one where kids know each other, look forward to seeing each other, and feel like they belong somewhere.

Small moments of friendship shared between classmates repeat every day in our classrooms, and over time, they turn into real friendships built on shared space and shared work.

Founders’ Day 2026 🌳
What a day! Despite the blazing heat, our Providence community showed up in a big way. The turnout was incredible, and the energy even bigger. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us.
A huge, heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, who made Sunday possible from start to finish. This day simply doesn’t happen without you. 💛

Light a candle for peace
Light a candle for love
Light a candle that shines
All away around the world
Light a candle for me
Light a candle for you
That our wish for world peace
Will one day come true

Today, our 6th graders proudly carried the peace dove and led the whole school on a ceremony walk around campus. We sang our Providence song and light a candle for peace together, and listened as a couple of our Upper Elementary students shared peace day poems.

A beautiful reminder that peace is something we practice, together, every day. 🕊️💛

Some things are better shown than told 💛 Take a look inside a Lower Elementary classroom, paired with the words of a 3rd grader who has called Providence home for 7 years. Listen to how he learns, how he sees peace, and how he sees his community.

A peek at our Language shelf in Lower Elementary. This is home to the Grammar Symbols, where every part of speech gets its own shape and color. Long before children learn formal grammar rules, they are already identifying nouns, verbs, and adjectives by sight and touch. This is what makes abstract concepts concrete and unforgettable!

One of the things that makes a Montessori education so special is how seamlessly it builds — nothing is taught in isolation, and nothing is ever really “finished.” A concept introduced at 2 years old is still being built upon well into middle school. Swipe through to see one thread of that journey, from Toddler all the way to Upper Elementary:

🟤 Toddler begins with the Brown Stairs, learning big and small through touch alone, no numbers required.

🔵 Primary moves to the Decanomial Bead Box, where multiplication becomes something they can see, hold, and build.

🟢 Lower Elementary takes it further with the Substitution Game, introducing squaring and cubing for the first time.

🟣 Upper Elementary completes this chapter with the Cubing Materials, using the same bead-bar colors to concretely prove the algebraic equation behind cubing numbers.

This is what continuity of education really looks like — one seamless path from Toddler all the way through Middle School, where every stage prepares your child for the next. Same colors, same pattern, deepening year after year. 💛

Another 20-Year Milestone! ✨

We’re celebrating another Providence teacher hitting 20 years with us — starting as our music teacher and now leading a Lower Elementary classroom for the past 6 years.

Her favorite work to share? “My Cosmic Address” — a journey from the vastness of the universe all the way down to her own street, helping children see just how big (and how small!) their place in it all really is.

Two decades of Providence magic, and still finding new ways to help kids see the world. 💛🌎
