What does the future of K-12 education look like? How can we prepare students for their future and not our past?
At Presbyterian Day School, we're not just asking that question, we're working on answering it by leading the way with an innovative approach to elementary education.
Our mission statement is the same as it was in 1949:
Presbyterian Day School strives to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man
Whether they are learning to draw, play an instrument, or shoot a basketball, boys love the hands-on, active, creative approach that we offer at PDS.
Playing an instrument is a skill that can bring joy for a lifetime. PDS has a vibrant band program and offers instruction during the day and after school for boys in grades 5 and 6. Nearly half of the students participate in the optional program.
Our boys receive both small group instruction and full-band rehearsals in two different levels, and the results are miraculous.
Whether they are performing for the student body, parents, or even the annual faculty/student basketball game, PDS boys are experiencing the delight that comes from making music.
The PDS band rehearses in small groups (no more than four students) and together as a full band.
No sweat. We’ve made sure band doesn’t conflict with any of our athletic teams. Let’s play on!
Here's video from our very first concert, back in 2016:
Presbyterian Day School (PDS) is a private, Christian preschool and elementary school serving 500 boys from 2-years-old through 6th grade.
With our mission of striving to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man, we take a holistic approach to education, nurturing the heart, soul, mind, and body of each boy.
