Providence Christian School (formerly Placerville Christian School) began operation in the fall of 1978 with eighteen students in Kindergarten through the grade 5.  Thirty-two years later, PCS has grown to the capacity for 200 students in Four-Year-Old Kindergarten (4K) through grade 8.  Many changes have occurred at PCS over the years, but academic excellence and teaching the truth of Jesus Christ has not.

  

          Providence Christian School (PCS) maintains small class sizes with a target size of 22 in Kindergarten through grade 8.  Our 4K program offers a 2day/week or 3 day/week format, with a maximum of 14 students for the 3-day format, and 12 students for the 2-day. PCS utilizes a variety of Christian curricula.  Grade 4K uses A Beka for all subjects; Kindergarten uses Bob Jones University Press (BJU) for Bible, and A Beka for all other subjects.  Grades 1-8 use A Beka  for Math, Spelling, and Art, and BJU for Reading, English, and History; grades 1-4 use A Beka for handwriting and BJU for Bible; and grades 5-8 use Harvest House for Bible.  Conversational Spanish is incorporated in the curriculum in grades 4K through 6 and is offered as an elective in Junior High. Extra-curricular activities include Cross-Country, Track and Band. Chapel is held weekly, with the lower grades (4K–3) and upper grades (4–8) having separate Chapel periods.

 

          PCS emphasizes servant leadership and provides many training opportunities for students.  Community outreach events include the annual Veterans Day program, Senior Pal’s Day, and visits to local area convalescent centers.  Students participate in a myriad of Ministry projects every year.

 

         ProvidenceChristian School is an interdenominational school, which establishes Christian truth as a guide for life by teaching biblical truth. PCS admits students of any race, color, or national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, and athletic and other school-administered programs.  Our doors are open to people of all races and national origins because of the love of God, as manifested in the ministry to redemption through Jesus Christ, intended for all people who receive it.  To this end, Providence Christian School is pleased to serve Christian families in El Dorado County.  Providence Christian School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
