Outside Providence Day School

Living Our Mission

The Providence Day School mission is to inspire in our students a passion for learning, a commitment to personal integrity, and a sense of social responsibility.

If that’s true — if we are truly living our mission — moments of inspiration should be happening every day on campus. This is an experiment to find and celebrate those moments.

We know inspiration can take many forms. It can strike at any moment or develop over time. Inspiration can be found in things big and small. It can come from the ordinary and the extraordinary. Inspiration can happen individually or within a group. It can happen when we’re not looking for it, or when we seek it out. Inspiration can mean different things to different people, and be expressed in a variety of ways.

Yet for all its variables, inspiration has one constant: the power to influence and change us and our communities in profound and exciting ways.

This project is an authentic look at the Providence Day community, unguided and unfiltered. There was only one criterion: the moments captured must have taken place on the actual day reported. We are excited to see our mission come to life!

Inspire Me!

Days of Inspiration

Are we living our mission at Providence Day School? We asked members of our community to find and share moments of inspiration every day on campus for the 2016-2017 school year.

Together, we discovered that inspiration takes many forms and has the power to make us laugh, cry, connect, and reflect. By intentionally seeking out these authentic moments, we defined what it means to be a Charger.

At its conclusion, the Days of Inspiration campaign stands as a testament to the diversity and commonality of our collective, shared experiences.

Providence Day exists to inspire.

Day 164 May 18th, 2017

Be Inspired This Year

My inspiration is short and sweet (pun intended). It's the TK students here at PD. They inspire me everyday when I see them playing on the playground, in their classroom, and just walking around. They are a great reminder for all of us to enjoy life with a childlike attitude, whether it's as a student and our workload of classes or as adults and our workload in our profession. Sometimes just step back and forget about our responsibilities and live like a child." />
