Pleasantview First Step Preschool

Fifteen Constellation learning communities offer tuition-free public charter education in Ohio. We began in 2001 with academic learning, character education, life skills and social-emotional development as parts of our approach. ACCEL Schools operates our network, and our programs follow Ohio standards and hold Cognia accreditation. Elementary classes build reading, language arts and mathematics foundations alongside science, social studies, physical education, art and music. Students expand those subjects in middle school and add electives and activities. High-school students complete graduation coursework and explore advanced courses, college and career planning, projects and service learning. Classroom Smartboards, individual Chromebooks and the AMP/edu platform support learning across our schools. Choosing a campus matters. Facilities, activities and family services differ between schools. Counseling, tutoring, meals, before- and after-school care and summer programs may be available depending on the school a family selects. We keep those campus differences part of the choice rather than treating every network service as available everywhere. Families begin enrollment by selecting a school and completing its online process, including the documents required for Ohio public schools. Counseling, tutoring, meals, before- and after-school care and summer programs vary between campuses. Families select the school before completing its enrollment process and the documentation Ohio public schools require.

Providence Academy in Parma is a classical Christian school for preschool through 6th grade. In our Grammar School (kindergarten to 4th grade), students build foundations through phonics, memorization, penmanship, a cumulative study of history, Latin, literature and poetry, science and fine arts, using songs, chants, games and storytelling to hold on to what they learn. In Logic School (grades 5 and 6), students move between specialized teachers, take formal logic and practice Socratic discussion as they learn to build and test arguments. Across grades we teach with the Spalding Method, Shurley English, Singapore Math and Veritas Press, keep class sizes small and weave Bible study through the curriculum. Preschoolers attend morning, afternoon or split sessions three days a week, with Bible stories, math centers, a literacy program, music, art and recess in our gymnasium. Annual tuition is $6,800 for Grammar School and $7,600 for Logic School, with FACTS payment plans and financial aid, and families may apply for Ohio's EdChoice Scholarship.
