Hear from former Providence families and their adult children as they share their experiences from Providence over the years—from supporting students through the typical academic and social challenges of middle school to encouraging a child’s faith, character development, and academic growth. You will hear more about the fruit that has resulted from the foundation established at Providence.

As a mother of three, author, and university professor, Jessica Hooten Wilson is passionate about classical Christian education and the power of storytelling to equip our children with truth. She will discuss how reading quality books can shape a child’s heart and set them free from the false stories the world has to offer. A dynamic speaker and author of three books, Jessica serves as Professor of Humanities and Classical Education at University of Dallas and is a former teacher at Covenant Classical School in Fort Worth.

Recently, Dr. Nell Bush joined us via a recorded video to discuss how to "Parent Without Power Struggles." Although  this lecture is geared towards families with young children, we believe that many of the points she makes are applicable to families with children of all ages.
