Peas in a pod vary little. Children are not like peas in a pod. They are all different.
National Standards kindergarten through 12th grade are on their way.
At PDS we are looking forward to taking a good look at all the standards and at where we converge, and diverge, in the choices we make. And also, at where we exceed and expand national (and international) expectations.
As an accredited independent school we have the ability to think broadly and deeply about the choices and decisions we make. Our thinking is always guided by our mission and vision, our experience and by a review of the best thinking and research about what it means to educate children to thrive and succeed in this rapidly changing world.
As always, we welcome your ideas.
