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.
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 AfterCare.
The children will be given a snack and engage in various organized and free-play activities both indoors and outdoors.
Boys in the Elementary division will have a period of supervised study and homework help during their day if it is needed.
All sign-ups are done online.
Since class dismissal times are staggered, Early Childhood students (YK-SK) who have an older sibling at PDS will be able to enroll in the program and attend AfterCare until the older sibling is dismissed. The younger sibling will be picked up by an AfterCare assistant at his specific dismissal time and join aftercare until his older sibling dismissal time. The parent is required to walk inside the main entrance and sign the younger sibling out of Sibling Stay BEFORE picking up the older sibling in carpool. The younger sibling will enjoy time on the playground or being inside with toys and activities during his time in Sibling Stay.
The cost for Early Childhood Sibling Stay is $400 per semester for 5 days a week and $240 per semester for 3 days a week.
Drop-in days are available to students who are not registered for aftercare. These days can be used as frequently as needed. Students will be sent to aftercare at school dismissal and must be picked up by 6:00pm. Please register your son in advance for a drop-in day.
Beginning January 1, 2022, the drop-in fee is $35 per day. Drop-in fees are billed monthly.
Register for AfterCare Drop-In DayNOTE: BOYS LEFT AT SCHOOL PAST THEIR DISMISSAL TIME (15 MINUTES FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD, 30 MINUTES FOR ELEMENTARY) WILL BE TAKEN TO AFTERCARE AND CHARGED THE DROP-IN FEE OF $25.
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.
