PDS Cultural Expeditions

Through our Cultural Expeditions, boys take Cultural Connection Trips to gain knowledge of their world and build the foundation for them to be the best local and global neighbors they can be.
As we strive to live out PDS’ mission, we build a foundation for our boys to grow in wisdom, stature, and favor, both with God and man. Our goal is to shape each boy as we prepare them to be global citizens who flourish in the world today. Part of this preparation includes exposing our boys to the world around them, starting locally and expanding outward along the way. Throughout this process, we will connect classroom knowledge with seminal experiences, broadening each boy's perspective and stirring up his imagination and curiosity of the world and its many cultures.

“The world is a book and those who do not  travel read only a page.”
