Purpose
The PS curriculum is focused on how children learn in addition to what they learn. Our challenging program celebrates learning more than grades, projects more than tests, and collaboration more than memorization. All this learning takes place in a community where faith and academics are seamlessly integrated. Students don't encounter God only in chapel or Bible class; they discover how following Jesus shapes everything-how we ask questions, how we treat classmates, how we use technology, and how we understand our purpose in the world.
Mission statement
The founding purpose of Presbyterian School, established in 1989, was and remains to provide families with a "Christ-centered learning environment in which the total family will experience support and growth."
