For the month of November our virtue is Servant Leader. Our key verse is taken from Philippians 2:3-4 “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.”

As we spend this month being intentional about humility, we will be challenging the boys to develop habits that will enable them to form some characteristics of a Humble Hero. A passage from scripture that we will be referencing and asking the boys to memorize is Philippians 2:3-4.

For September, our Building Boys, Making Men virtue is “True Friend.”  We will spend time learning what it means to be a True Friend during chapel, class meetings, homeroom and other teachable moments that occur daily to help the boys answer the essential question of what it means to be a true friend.

Building Boys, Making Men isn’t just a class or an event. It’s a complete program to teach every PDS boy what it means to be a man of God—beginning when boys enter PDS as
two-year-olds and becoming more intensive as boys approach their teens and prepare to graduate from PDS. So what does that look like in practice?
