Providence High School Reviews

 
This is the first year that our daughter was anxious to return to school. She had a wonderful summer but missed her friends and teachers, yes - I wrote teachers. Providence truly is a wonderful place for young women - challenging curriculum and empowering enviroment! Give your daughter the Providence advantage, it is worth it!

Although my daughter left her senior year to go to a public school. (She wanted to be in the top 10% so she can get into UT) she had met life long friends at Providence. In fact every so often several Provets get together and just chat. Providence not only has prepared my daughter for UT, but also to cherish her friends from Providence.

Providene High School is the best kept secret in San Antonio Texas. It's college work and ethic at a high school setting. The traditions and school spirit at PHS are incredible and the pride of being a 'Provet' is passed down through each class. I sent my oldest daughter to the other all- girls school in San Antonio, and she did not like it at all. She and her younger sister then went to Providence and found that it suited them better. I would honestly say that it is the better of the two all-girls schools in San Antonio, with all due respect to that other school. The staff truly cares about your daughters and they empower her to succed in a superior male society. When you walk through the front doors, you feel at home. Everyone here is truly a big family.

I attribute my success in college to my years at Providence. While I was in high school I longed to go to public school but as an adult I realize I wouldn't have developed such a strong foundation anywhere else. I now thank my parents for shelling out the extra cash to send me there.

A lot has changed at Providence, including the addition of the only all girls middle school program. The course work for middle school is difficult with requirements such as latin, algebra, and another foreign language. They attend regular electives as well including choral, drama, and dance. The high school also has changed with the addition of more AP/Dual Credit courses (9) all taught at Providence. This year brings an engineering course to Providence taught by a mechanical engineer. The fine arts department is also diverse and has extremely qualified and talented faculty for chior, dance, art, photography, and theater - two full productions a year! Providence has also added Provet TV, broadcast live each morning, produced and delivered by broadcasting students. Providence has all the wonderful athletics, journalism, band, PALS, countless clubs, all encompassed in a spiritual and loving atmosphere. Here, she can be who she is meant to be!

As an alumni of Providence High School I can assure any student or parent that the experience and education of an all female school is definetly worth the tution and time. I loved the small classroom size, the personal attention I received from the fantastic faculty and the positive values that were instilled in every student that are carried until and after graduation. As a soon to be college graduate and a prospective medical student I am forever grateful for my parents for sending me to such a great school.

A great education in a great environment. Small classes with lots of individual attention given to each student. A well rounded academic curriculum with experienced teachers who have life experience. (Living abroad, etc.) Limited honors/advanced courses available unless taken at Central Catholic HS. There are a number of extracurricular activities available for those intersted in sports but a limited selection for those interested in other things; drama, art, music etc. While they are offered, the extent and resources dedicated to these other programs is not as great.

Providence offers great academic programs. The teachers are very helpful and are available to tutor. My daughter started Providence as a freshman on an academic probation. She was able to learn and improve her grades to be removed from probation with the first 4 months. She is now a junior and is in honor roll. The study skills that she learned while a freshman have helped to continue to succeed and maintain her grades. Providence also offers many extracurricular activities, including sports, music and art. My daughter enjoys art and has been pleased with her teacher. Parents are involved. There is communication between the parents, faculty and administration.
