My son has attended PDS-Clarksdale for 5 years (Jr. K-3rd). He will graduate from PDS & I will be enrolling my second child there when he reaches school age. I would/will not send my children to any other learning institution other than PDS! The teachers are wonderful & the curriculum is top-notch (mainly A Beka)! I absolutely love that my child receives the best Christian-based education in this part of the country! PDS is a extremely family oriented & they become part of your family! If you are looking for not only an amazing faith-based education, but to be part of a family, PDS is most definitely the place for you!
