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.

Choir

PDS boys are known for their singing. The sound that is created by our choir of 250 boys is breathtaking and our families can’t wait to hear them sing in special programs throughout the school year.

All vocal instruction takes place during the school day where our masterful music teacher helps the boys learn to sing with passion, poise, and a bit of panache.

Our boys learn more than how to sing in vocal music class as they explore the importance of rhythm, melody, and harmony.

Our youngest boys also have a dedicated music teacher who teaches the boys to make a joyful noise from the very beginning.
