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.

Video - Derby Days - Fall Breakaway 2019

Posted on Oct 9, 2019 | Winston Baccus

The Elementary Division breaks away from our regular schedule on the two days leading into Fall Break to engage in two days of STEAM-infused learning.

This year the boys become race car designers and raced their creations down a custom track inspired by NerdyDerby.com and built by PDS alum, Parker Joyner and his team at Crosstown Arts.
