The Providence Effect

Summary: THE PROVIDENCE EFFECT is the story of an individual man, the inner city Chicago school he founds, and the student lives that school has changed and saved. The school, Providence St. Mel, has a 30-year 100% college placement record; with an "old school" approach to learning --- "Do the work." --- and a dedicated corps of teachers and administrators, Providence St. Mel can serve as the model for revamping all of American education.
