Weekly Schedule
Providence Classical School is unique in its combination of classroom experience and the home instruction environment.
GRADES K-2 MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY
Home Instruction
​During Home Instruction days, parents teach their children at home using lesson plans prepared by each child's classroom teacher. The lesson plans provide consistency between what is taught at school and what is taught at home. Tests are given at school and the teacher assumes responsibility for grade students' work and for maintaining educational records. Students in each class use the same curriculum. This approach gives students a unique blend of time with parents at home combined with classroom experiences.
