Philosophy
The athletic program at Providence Classical School (PCS) serves to augment and support the PCS educational goals. Athletics can play a vital role in a student’s education by teaching them the value of self-discipline, commitment, teamwork, self-control, setting and achieving goals, perseverance, fellowship, loyalty, and cooperation. Consistent with the PCS Mission Statement, it is the objective of the PCS athletic program to teach these lessons as a part of the entire integrated curriculum for those students that choose to participate.

Guiding Principles
The PCS Athletic Program is guided by the following scriptural principles:

• “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17
• “For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value in all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8
• “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, …” Ecclesiastes 9:10a
• “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, … so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 4:10 – 11

The following guiding principles flow from the scriptural principles and support the PCS educational goals:

• Athletics are extracurricular and will not interfere with the academic curriculum.
• The athletic program will support PCS academic standards by maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
• The athletic program will not be a financial burden on parents, interfere with the operating budget, or eclipse teacher salaries.

• PCS teams and individual competitors should be known for dedication, great sportsmanship, and excellence in all areas.
• The athletic program should help develop a culture of discipline through athletic training.
