PDS Elementary
and Pre-K

PDS Elementary School

PDS is governed by a Board of Directors who submit to the authority of the Session of First Presbyterian Church of Kosciusko. Many of our board members, both present and past, have been actively involved since the “idea” stage; one had been praying for the establishment of a Christian school for our community since she read about such a school in an issue of Table Talk magazine — eight years prior to the beginning of PDS! The PDS Board of Directors, FPC Session, and the administration are planning and praying toward further growth of the school as more families become convinced of the necessity and advantages of a Christ-centered education.

The curriculum for PDS was carefully selected for content, age appropriateness, biblical truth, and teachability. Curriculum changes are made with great thought in order to progress PDS in its quest for excellence and as unto the Lord. 

All students receive Bible as the foundation of educational training in the classroom. Students attend chapel weekly, memorize Scripture weekly, and pray in and out of the classroom. 

The Abeka Program, a Christian curriculum, is currently being used in kindergarten through sixth grade. Achievement tests are administered each spring.

PDS Pre-K

In 1984, with the completion of the new First Presbyterian Church on Smythe Street, a committee was formed to organize a kindergarten as a part of the outreach of the church. Much thought, prayer and research went into its organization. The kindergarten started with a program for 3, 4, & 5 year olds with approximately 30 children.

Today, with the kindergarten being part of the Presbyterian Day School, our PDS Pre-K program caters to 1 through 4-year-old children 5 days a week. We also offer Mother’s Morning Out for 1 and 2 year olds as well as after school care for 2 through 4 year olds. Our current enrollment is approximately 100 children. The Lord has used this school to spread the gospel and to develop the minds of these children. We thank God for His faithfulness.
