frequently asked questions

Many interested 7th and 8th graders have the same questions that you might about Providence.  Here are our most frequently asked questions and their answers.

Q: How many state championships does Providence Catholic have?

A: We have 24 state championships, more than any other Catholic school in Illinois. Go to the Athletics page.

Q:  Do you have a uniform? 

A: No, we do not have a uniform, but we do have a dress code.  Everyone must wear dress pants, a three button polo shirt or a button down oxford, dress shoes and a belt. Read the complete dress code here.

Q:  What time does the school day start and end?

A: The first bell rings at 7:50, with the first class beginning at 7:55.  Our day ends with announcements and a prayer at 2:35.  Learn more about the daily schedule.

Q:  What days can I shadow?

A: We host Shadow Days on Fridays throughout the year.  It is always best to call the school first to schedule your Shadow Day.  You want to make sure school is in session and let us know you are coming. Download a Shadow Day form.

Q:  What types of scholarships do you have?

A: If you have taken our initial placement exam on January 13, 2007, you can apply for the Augustinian Service Scholarship, the Chase Academic Achievement Scholarship, the Harris Bank “Off To A Good Start” Scholarship and the I Mag Jen Charities Scholarship.  You also can earn a scholarship if you are one of the Top 15 scorers on our Placement Exam. You can also apply for Financial Aid.  Learn more about financial aid and scholarship programs.

Q:  How far away is Providence? 

A: It varies depending on where you live, of course.  We are just off Interstate-80 at the Maple Ave. exit in New Lenox.  It is an easy drive without going through a busy town with a lot of traffic lights. Click here for more information about travel times or our busing program.
