This is our family’s fifth year at Providence Hall. I have one at each school this year. We’ve been incredibly impressed with the schools and will keep our kids here for a few reasons. The first, is the environment. They are smaller schools, which allow more interaction and kids don’t fall through the cracks. The administration and faculty have been amazing. The second is the curriculum. They are IB Schools and I like the educational focus. I also love that all three schools are close to each other. It makes it easy to arrange drop off and pick up.

We have loved Providence Hall, particularly the elementary and junior high. Our experiences with teachers and staff have been overwhelmingly positive. Our children's needs and academic abilities range from severe disabilities requiring IEPs to minor learning disabilities to high academic achievers who have received ACT scores of 33 and 34. ALL of these kids thrived at Providence Hall. The special education department is fantastic, as are the honors and IB classes. Our kids have experienced inclusivity and kindness at these schools. The office staff at all three schools are personable and helpful. The junior high principal is particularly wonderful. Even though it is her first year she seems to know each student by name and is fantastic at communication and problem solving. The kids love her! The atmosphere at the school is happy and positive. Our kids have been involved in a range of activities, including music, drama, athletics, anti-bullying clubs, student council, and academic clubs. We have found the homework load to be just right (very manageable) with the exception of high school IB classes, which is to be expected. No school is perfect, and we have definitely had some teachers we loved more than others, but we would overall give this school our highest recommendation!

We have loved the small school experience here at Providence Hall! The classes are smaller and there's a total feeling of community and belonging. The administration is awesome and my kids have made great friends!! The only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 star review is that we have had a few teachers that were not the ideal teachers. But we have had more fabulous teachers and I'm sure you get a mix anywher you go.

We transferred here from another local charter school and have been very impressed! My daughter started in 4th grade and has been at Providence Hall Elementary for two years now. She had one of the best teachers I've ever known last year, and this year her teacher is just as amazing! They know who she is, where she needs to make progress, and how to help her get there. My daughter also struggles with severe anxiety and the counseling support staff has been WONDERFUL. They've worked with her and walked that fine line between supporting her and pushing her to grow.

My experience at this school was absolutely dreadful. Bullying was not dealt with, the teachers were stressful, arrogant, and utterly rude, and lastly it just sucks all the joy from you bit by bit the longer you’re there. Academics are okay but looking at everything else underneath that you see how bad a school it is. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this school!

Excellent teachers and Principals at the Jr High and High School. Love the atmosphere and how all the teachers get to know the students. My daughter loves this school and has really excelled.

We've had a good experience thus far. My student has been on the high honor roll for all 13 quarters he's been enrolled between the JH and HS. He just got a 22 on the practice ACT as a 9th grader so as of right now he seems to be on track for a great ACT score in a couple of years and I think that says the classes are appropriately challenging and that if the students are willing to apply themselves academically they'll be able to get a good education from the school.

So far so good, we have a son with special needs, compared to his last school his anxiety is way down and his behavior is much improved. He is more accepted than he has ever been.

A few years ago I would have left a glowing review, not now! The Administrators are uncaring and unqualified. We have had many interactions looking for help and it has fallen on deaf ears. We will be going elsewhere!

My son went to PH Jr. High from 6th - 8th grade and is now attending 9th grade at the High School. He has really enjoyed the learning experience here. The teachers actually listen to the kids and tailor things according to their interests. For example, in PE, rather than only having the typical soccer and basketball, they will have the opportunity to try out some less common sports based on their interests. After all, physical education can be accomplished through many different means. My son loves to write and his first year attending, one of the teachers allowed them to form a Book Writers Club that met after school once a week. He is more engaged in his own learning with this more adaptive approach to education. He is excited to be able to earn an IB diploma and we all feel that will give him an advantage after high school.

I have four children and they area currently attending Providence Hall Elementary and Jr. High. The environment that Providence Hall sets into their school is refreshing. They try to keep fun in education. I have been very pleased with the education they have received. My oldest son has ADHD and the counselors and teachers at the school have been so great to work with me. My son excelled this year in school for the first time in his life. I love Providence Hall!

My four children are currently attending Providence Hall Elementary and Jr. High. These two charter schools are a clear step up from their past public schools in Ventura County, CA and Riverton, UT, with the primary benefit being a higher adult/child ratio. So far their teachers have been motivated, positive, and great communicators. They seem willing to put in extra time when one of our children are struggling, and the IB teaching method seems to bring a welcomed focus and consistency. One the other hand, like all of the other public schools we attended, it is very much a public school that encourages mediocrity and shuns competition. Children in single parent families are going to be severely disadvantaged here: Our children come home with a huge amount of work every day, and they are clueless about what they have to do. We spend hours every day teaching our children the basics... it would almost be easier and more effective to home school them. Obviously, like all public schools, there is very little time actually devoted to education. For a public school in Utah or Southern California, Providence Hall is probably among the best. As a cure for public education? No way.
