PDS offers an after-school care program from your son’s class dismissal time until 6:00pm for grades YK–6, the day-to-day runnings of which are handled by a trained staff consisting mostly of young adults and college students, who answer to the Director of Auxiliary Programs.

Each father and son will share one room with two double beds at the hotel. The business office will bill you $975.00 for the cost of the trip. This will include two nights at the hotel, transportation to and from St. Louis and transportation to all events. It also includes tickets for the baseball game, Six Flags, Rec-Plex, the St. Louis Arch, and meals at the hotel. Additional money will be needed for food at the ball park, lunch on Saturday at Six Flags, lunch on Sunday at the St. Louis Zoo, and for any souvenirs or snacks you may want to buy during the trip. We are taking care of all reservations.

This trip is intended to immerse our boys in the functions of our federal government, our nation’s history, and to experience one of the most important cities of the world.

5th Grade

From two iconic American cities, boys will explore how events like the Revolutionary War shaped both America's past — as well as its present and future in a global context. Students will visit places that have made America into the melting pot it is today, the bedrock of our financial institution, and our recent history at the 9/11 Memorial. They'll also learn about how these locations create vital links between past events and future possibilities – both for Americans as well as nations around globe!
