The PCMC Board of Directors would like to address the recent tragic loss of Camille Alayna Marti that has so profoundly affected our community. First and foremost, we would like to express our heartbroken love and sincere condolences to Denise, Marcos, Isabel, and the extended Marti family. The magnitude of this tragedy can be felt so keenly by us all as parents, and we are gutted by its seemingly senseless and sudden nature. We cannot explain or understand why our Father in Heaven would allow such a devastating event to take place. We can only place hope in our knowledge that He is loving, trustworthy, all-seeing, all-knowing, and working ALL things together for the good of those who love Him. The Martis have certainly demonstrated that they love Him and are actively placing their hope in seeing their precious daughter again. Camille Alayna Marti was a singularly joyful human. She ...

A better question may be, "What electives are not offered?!" In traditional middle and high school electives are chosen from a set selection of classes that supplement a core curriculum. Our elective courses are more than just add-ons. They are integral to our holistic educational model. Our typical work week includes life skills, computer skills, internships, exercise, health and wellness, woodworking, graphic design, art, and technology. These subjects are not taught in isolation but are interwoven with other disciplines: As we integrate electives into the broader curriculum, students experience an interconnected education. From art and music to coding and environmental science, we encourage curiosity and interdisciplinary learning. The benefits go far beyond the schoolroom - internships and community service are woven into our elective programs. Students step out of the ...

Real life doesn't compartmentalize English and math and art. A statistician needs math skills, but also must have a good command of English, and an eye to know how to present statistics attractively. A scientist who works with waste water must understand the underlying science as well as the human stories behind the numbers. In the business world, disciplines intersect. Art informs science, and history influences technology. Community leaders must have a firm grasp on many disciplines, and understand how they intersect and influence society, the economy, and our world in general. By nurturing a student's interests and passions, our students see the bigger picture. That's why our electives are different. We can't develop leaders if we teach them one dimensional subjects. Simply learning the facts of how a bill is passed in Congress doesn't create an informed and thoughtful voter. ... Read More about Why Our Electives are Different

At Providence, one of the highlights of the high school curriculum is internships. An internship provides hands- on exposure to an industry or field that matches a student's interests. It gives them insight into potential career paths early on as well as providing mentorship opportunities. We pair our students with seasoned professionals and begin building meaningful connections. Peyton Bolynn is one of our students who has been an intern, and he shared his experience in a Q&A. Where was your internship? Mrs. Julie set me up with a financial advisor, part of an investment management firm. Why did you choose that one? I've always had an interest in stocks and managing money, especially personal finance, and this seemed like a great opportunity. What did you learn? I learned a lot about the job. I had assumptions that were just wrong. For example, I thought that the job was ... Read More about Internship Spotlight
