Providence Classical Christian School is the only Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS)-accredited PreK-12 program in western Washington, founded in 1997 by a small group of families with 18 students and four teachers meeting twice a week in a Bellevue church basement. The school relocated to Lynnwood in 2001, became an ACCS charter member in 2004, expanded into Kirkland in 2014, and bought its first owned building in Bothell for the 2017-18 school year.
For 2025-26 there are 11 ACCS schools in Washington serving roughly 3,440 students total. Providence is one of the larger and the most credentialed: ACCS-accredited since May 2004 and one of the few WA classical Christian schools to span the full PreK-through-12 arc. Curriculum is structured around the classical trivium — grammar, logic, and rhetoric — with required coursework in Latin, formal logic, mathematics, science, music, and rhetoric. ACCS schools nationally outscore both public and private peers on standardized tests, and Providence seniors score in the top 20 percent of SAT scores.
Enrollment has grown past 300 students with about 70 faculty and staff. Tuition runs roughly $12,000 per year, and 92 percent of graduates continue to four-year colleges. The Steadfast capital campaign has raised more than $2 million toward a roughly 14-acre Woodinville site for future expansion — a meaningful step for a school whose theological framework and curriculum length make finding suitable campus space difficult.
