Founder“The most rewarding thing has been seeing the Lord bring families that are looking for a different path to educating their children, taking the bold risk to pursue that, and seeing their children thrive.”
Mrs. Anna
"I want to create a space where kids are excited to learn, willing to try hard things, and proud of what they discover."

Mrs. Coryn
“The seat of a Guide could not be more encouraging… I’ve gotten to watch it all unfold, and day by day I’ve seen the Acton model actually work. These ‘kids’ are functioning like a civil society, wrestling out hard topics in group discussions and practicing things like self-management and conflict resolution. Young people are truly capable of more than we’ve dared to imagine as a society, and cheering on our Providence Heroes is a privilege and a gift.”
