About Providence Christian Academy
Founded in 1997, Providence Christian Academy (PCA) is a thriving PreK–12 independent school located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, just southeast of Nashville. With an enrollment of over 780 students, PCA offers a Christ-centered, classical education rooted in a biblical worldview and committed to the formation of the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
PCA partners closely with families to cultivate students who seek God’s truth, think deeply, and live purposefully. The school’s approach is shaped by three enduring pillars: a Christian worldview, classical methodology, and wholehearted parental partnership. These principles are evident across all facets of school life—from rigorous academics and meaningful discipleship relationships to robust arts, athletics, and leadership programs. PCA is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and Cognia and is a candidate school with the Council on Educational Standards & Accountability (CESA).
The School of Rhetoric
PCA’s high school division, known as the School of Rhetoric, serves 247 students in grades 9–12 and represents the culmination of the school’s Christian classical model. Housed in the state-of-the-art Allen Family Academic and Athletic Center—a 56,000-square-foot facility with 16 classrooms, two science labs, and a 1,200-seat gymnasium—the Rhetoric School provides an inspiring setting for academic and extracurricular engagement.
Hallmark programs such as the senior thesis capstone, student-led house system, and mission-based advisory groups foster intellectual rigor, spiritual maturity, and servant leadership. Through this distinctive blend of academic excellence and character formation, the School of Rhetoric prepares students to think clearly, communicate persuasively, and lead faithfully in a complex and ever-changing world.
