Faculty Information
Our faculty members have been carefully recruited and selected on the basis of personal character and Christian commitment, as well as highly proficient teaching experience and skills. They have joined Providence Hall because of our distinctive mission, and give themselves to our students both in and out of the classroom. They understand their significant responsibility to be role models and mentors, and develop a strong bond with our students. Currently we have seven full-time and three part-time faculty members. In addition, local Christian leaders, teachers, and theologians teach portions of our Foundations of the Christian Faith course.
This provides a teacher / student ratio of about 1: 4, which is, of course, outstanding and compares favorably with the very finest high schools across the country.
