Providence School does not provide a bus transportation service. However, some families choose to arrange private taxi services and contact information for commonly used providers can be shared upon request. Please note that these services operate independently, and Providence School is not responsible for their operation, supervision, or safety.

The School strives to be a safe and caring environment in which students thrive. Students are encouraged to be actively involved in their own learning with the expectation from everyone close to them (parent/guardian, teachers and peers) that they will succeed. Daily interaction between students and staff promotes a feeling of inclusivity and appreciation. Each person is respected for their different abilities, cultures, gender, interests and dreams, which in turn, contribute to a rich learning environment.

The five Tribe Agreements honored at Providence School are:

  • Attentive Listening
  • Appreciation/No Put Downs
  • Mutual Respect
  • The Right To Pass & The Right to Participate
  • Safety First

The goal of the Tribe Agreements is to assure the healthy development of every student so that each one has the knowledge, skills and resiliency to be successful in a rapidly changing world.

Parents/guardians are partners in sustaining our Tribes Learning Community.
