20 years later, Providence Classical School is celebrating its tenth graduating class. The ceremony was on Saturday, May 28, 2022, and held on its school campus.
Providence’s eleven graduates have endured a senior year that culminates in a year-long fine arts project and two senior theses, which are just two of the distinctions that define a senior year at PCS. Both demands require diligent effort amidst a full schedule of their other classes.
The senior thesis is a capstone research and writing project that goes through many iterations of edits and then an oral defense in front of an audience of their peers, parents, alumni, faculty, and school board members. As a testament to the students’ extensive and well-rounded research and cogent defense, almost all adult audience members leave the presentations having learned something new. This demonstration of our seniors’ ability to persevere through the challenge of thesis doubts, adjustments, and refining, is but one example of how they each embody the portrait of a PCS graduate.
The students’ articulation of beauty, goodness, and truth in their thesis oral presentations evidences our mission’s imprint on how they analyzed and concluded their theses. The topics chosen covered the gamut and reflected their personal interest. Importantly, the thesis development process allowed their curiosity to culminate in a masterful proficiency of the subject.
Our seniors studied:
- Children Under 13 Should Not be on Social Media
