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.

Jay completed his undergraduate studies in biology and psychology at University of Georgia before attending medical school at Tulane University in New Orleans. It was while in New Orleans that Jay met and married his wife Chavanne.
A native Memphian, Jay returned to Memphis in 2017 after residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and a couple of years in private practice. Jay and Chavanne are the parents of two PDS boys, Jay and George. The McDonald family are members of St. John's Episcopal Church.
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.
