Providence Extension Program

My first day of high school and of PEP was September 11, 2001. It was also PEP’s first day of existence. On that day of firsts, I had no idea what an impact PEP would make on me over the next four years. The teachers demonstrated to me a passion for truth and for serving Christ with every aspect of my life. They inspired in me a love of learning and truth, and most importantly, a passion for serving Christ with every aspect of my life. I saw modeled in their lives what it means to be a “living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God,” and that demonstrated to me that it is possible, and so, so wonderful, to live totally for Jesus. I can say wholeheartedly that PEP prepared me very, very well for college and, most importantly, for life.

As a student at a college known for its rigorous academics, I found the transition to college-level classes very easy due to the PEP’s curriculum and college-like structure. PEP made me used to writing multiple papers and it taught me to think on my own and be able to teach myself. I was far better prepared for college level academics than most of my peers, thanks to PEP.
