History
Providence School was founded by the New Life Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational Christian church in Jacksonville's Southside. The church moved to establish the school at the request of members, and drew most of its first students from the congregation. The school broke ground on July 14, 1997 and cost $6 million. It opened for class the following year, and saw its enrollment numbers fill quickly, leading to further plans to accommodate growth.
