Paideia & B3 Building Blocks
Paideia Principles
Providence Spring employs the Paideia principles of teaching and learning. Paideia is not only a philosophy, it is also the use of powerful instructional strategies to teach challenging and rigorous content. Providence Spring has been named a Nationally Accredited Paideia School by the National Paideia Center and has seven faculty members that have been named to the National Faculty.
B3 Building Blocks
Brain Body Behavior, known as B3, was launched at Providence Spring Elementary during the 2022-2023 school year. It combines physical activity with sensory skills and core subjects.
B3 is about teaching and learning about the whole child. Targeted activities help to teach students about self-regulation, self-management, and self-control. When students can manage their emotions, they are more likely to gain confidence and critical thinking skills.
