In 2002, the Antonine Sisters in Canada,

with a well-known wide experience in the field of education for more than 60 years in Lebanon and overseas, educating more than 15 000 students per year, decided to expand their ministry in Ottawa founded in 1989 and to establish a Private French catholic school for girls and boys.

Providence Academy opened its door in September of 2003

at 339 Wilbrod Street in Sandy Hill, near Ottawa University, to the 4 and 5 years old kindergarten and Primary grades with the vision of expanding progressively to the High School level.

The benediction ceremony of the ground breaking

of the Academy Providence took place in May 2005 near the Providence Day Care located in 998 Frances Street, Ottawa. The school year 2005 – 2006 was a transitional year.

Since 2006 the Academy Providence welcomes the students in the Providence Foundation.

The building encompasses classrooms, a gymnasium, a resource room, computer lab, and art room. The students benefit from a cafeteria and secured and well-equipped playground.

2008 Blessing of the Providence Academy and unveiling of its acknowledgement board.

It was a special event that marked a milestone in the Providence Academy mission in the service of the Ottawa community. This event emphasized the determination of the Antonine Congregation to meet the needs of our community and to participate in the mission of the Church to be teacher of all people. The panel of recognition perpetuates a very edifying image for future generations of the support of the donors, and the communal generosity and solidarity.
