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.

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.
Flight Plan books give boys a clear vision for manhood in the 21st century and help them apply that vision to everything from peer pressure to puberty, and from schoolwork to future ambitions.
We wrote the book on character education.
How do we define being a man?
A real man glorifies God by seeking an adventurous life of purpose and passion as he protects and serves others.
Stands by, Stands up. Godly men are willing to stick with their friends through thick and thin.
Uses Gifts for God’s Glory. True heroes are not always successful in the way the world defines success.
Takes Initiative for Others. A servant leader recognizes that his relationship with Christ is first and his relationship with others is second.
Sets the Example. A Pacesetter makes a difference. Stands up for others. Treats others with respect.
Is Loved by God. Faithful Followers live in God's story, following Christ, studying the Bible.
Lives Honorably. Real men have a code of principles that they are going to live by, no matter what.
Goes Courageously. Bold Adventurers follow where God leads and are obedient to His plans.
Leave no man behind. Godly men are willing to stick with their friends through thick and thin.
Develop a God-sized vision. True heroes are not always successful in the way the world defines success.
I am third. A servant leader recognizes that his relationship with Christ is first and his relationship with others is second.
Set the example. A Pacesetter makes a difference. Stands up for others. Treats others with respect.
Don't sit around. Bold Adventurers follow where God leads and are obedient to His plans.
Called to duty. Real men have a code of principles that they are going to live by, no matter what.
Give up control. Faithful Followers live in God's story, following Christ, studying the Bible.
VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
The Servant Leader
Takes Initiative for Others.
A servant leader:
● Uses the position and power of leadership to serve others
● Knows what it means that the last will be first
● Serves others even when it is unpopular
● Stands firm in God’s truth in an uncertain world
● Understands leadership is more courageous than comfortable
● Sees a need and meets a need and gets others involved
Key Verse: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.” - Philippians 2:3-4
Books
The journey from boy to man is a big adventure—and an important one. That’s why PDS published The 7 Virtues of Manhood, Flight Plan, and Building Boys with Spiritual Habits. These books are designed to show our boys what it means to be a godly man and how to live that out in the choices they make today and throughout their teenage years.
