What Providence Christian Academy does

Providence Christian Academy is a private, nonprofit K-12 Christian school operating two physical campuses in the Atlanta metro area: a 35-acre main campus in Lilburn, Georgia serving preschool through 12th grade across nine buildings and over 200,000 square feet of indoor space, and a second high school campus in Johns Creek focused on the proprietary L2 Leadership Program. Founded September 6, 1991 by an independent Board of Directors (with the Lilburn City Mayor, Aflac, Microsoft, Warner Bros. Discovery, Novelis, and Coplanar Capital among represented organizations), the school serves 600+ students with a covenant model requiring families to commit to Christian faith, sign a statement of faith, and obtain a church leader recommendation.

The academic product is anchored by a four-year STEM Pathway (STEM I-IV) leading to a STEM Scholar designation and recognized nationally (Newsweek STEM School, ranked top 10%), a state-accredited Computer Science track including AP Computer Science A, AP Cybersecurity, and AP Computer Science Principles, a dual-acc Hahnaccredited core via Cognia and ACSI, and a Selective Studies program for students with diagnosed learning differences. Auxiliary offerings include a 16-sport, 47-team athletics program, award-winning fine arts (theatre, music, visual arts), an international student program spanning 10+ countries, the eSports program launched Fall 2025, and a Hybrid/Dual Enrollment program partnered with Liberty University Online Academy, Georgia Virtual School, Truett McConnell University, and Toccoa Falls College.

Revenue mechanics are tuition-led with published 2026-27 rates spanning $11,278 (preschool) to $22,215 (9th-12th grade), paid annually or in installments through Veracross tuition management, supplemented by after-school care ($3,600/yr full-time), summer camps, international student fees, and likely meaningful donations channeled through the Prov Foundation. Go-to-market is referral-driven through 150+ Christian church partnerships in metro Atlanta, personalized campus tours, shadow days (grades K-11), and an admissions team, with application requirements that include parent questionnaires, teacher and church leader recommendations, on-campus testing, and student writing samples. The school explicitly does not disclose revenue figures and operates with approximately 200-250 faculty and staff against a 9:1 student-teacher ratio.

Broad incumbents

• The Lovett School: Premier Atlanta private K-12 school serving high-income families. While not faith-based in Providence's covenant sense, it competes for the same upper-middle-class metro Atlanta families willing to pay premium private school tuition.
