As you read this report, it will become obvious to you that PDS is thriving. Our boys are achieving and performing at levels that place them among the very best students in the country. Our outstanding teachers are using their skills that have been sharpened and enhanced by professional development opportunities to challenge and inspire their students. Our graduates

leave PDS and successfully tackle the rigors of the most competitive middle schools, high schools, colleges and graduate schools. PDS is indeed preparing boys for tomorrow. PDS boys are the future leaders of this city, state and country. PDS boys are the future ministers, teachers, engineers, physicians, accountants, counselors, scout leaders, fathers and husbands who will provide hope, wisdom and direction to others. PDS boys learn what it means to be godly men and go from PDS with a clear vision of the path they should seek to fulfill godly lives. Almost sixty years ago, PDS opened its doors on Goodlett and Poplar to fulfill its mission which is to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man. The school remains true to its original mission, and we proudly acknowledge that this will be our goal for today, tomorrow and forever. We are grateful to so many who are recognized in this report for their hard work and contributions. Their investments help sustain the school’s mission and provide the support needed to make PDS such a wonderful place for a boy to learn and grow.

As our teachers design their curriculum, they use a process called backward design: they first create the learning outcomes and assessments, and then they actually plan the instruction and activities. Applying this model, we can start by measuring our end products: our 6th grade graduates. When we measure our boys academically, we are interested in using the toughest comparison group in the country. We want to see how our boys stack up against private (independent) school students at the leading private schools in New York, Boston, Chicago, and so forth. The Educational Records Bureau (ERB) is the most 6

common and comprehensive standardized test used by private schools around the country. Last year’s 6th graders recorded the following results in the private school group: • Aggregated in all categories, PDS boys outperformed their peers by an average of 32%. • In every category, they outperformed their peers. • Among the language arts categories (verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing mechanics, writing concepts and skills, and writing assessment), they outperformed their peers by an average of 41%.
We are interested also in how the younger students are performing relative to their peers. Once again using this same private school benchmarking group from ERB testing, our overall results for 2nd – 6th grade were as follows: • Aggregated in all categories, PDS boys outperformed their private school peers by an average of 23%. • In the language arts categories, they scored 26% above average. • In the math categories, they scored 12% above average.
Few schools in the country would have a portfolio of outstanding scores like these. This consistent record of high achievement throughout the school demonstrates excellent teaching and preparation.
Our 6th graders had an average reading level well exceeding that of a 9th grader.

The data also shows strong preparation: • Last year’s 6th graders had an average reading level well exceeding that of a 9th grader. • 60% of last year’s 5th graders were recognized by the Duke University Talent Identification Program for their high standardized test scores. • 92% of our 1st graders were reading above grade level. • PDS placed 8th in the United States in World Math Day, competing against over one million students from more than 20,000 schools in 150 countries.
Few schools in the country have the portfolio of outstanding ERB scores that PDS has. Once again, that points to excellent teaching, learning and preparation. Our teachers are bringing out the best in all their boys. Despite the attention given to this data here, we don’t give too much emphasis to
standardized tests. They don’t drive our curriculum, and, in fact, they only measure a portion of it anyway. We also analyze how our boys perform academically after they graduate from PDS. We hope that each family selects the school
But our academic metrics aren’t just the aggregated numbers. More important, really, is how each individual boy is doing. We happily and intentionally serve a range of boys with differing talents, abilities and learning styles, and we want to assure that each boy is achieving his best. Some parts of standardized tests are, generally speaking, more of a measure of relatively innate ability, while others measure knowledge and skills learned in school. It is important to examine the relationship between the two. Last year, at all grade levels at which the ERB was given, the achievement score averages were 17% higher than the ability ones. In other words, PDS boys are consistently living up to and even exceeding what would be expected of them. 7
Thriving Today, Prepared for Tomorrow
that will be the best fit for the boy, and we want each boy to be prepared to thrive at any type of school, whether it is one that is traditional or more progressive in its approaches. Most of our graduates enroll at Memphis University School, so we are particularly interested to monitor how our boys perform there. Last year, there were 293 PDS graduates attending MUS, and they earned the following results: • 164 of them (56%) earned a spot on the academic honor roll. • In the 8th grade, 70% of the Springfield Scholars (highest academic distinction) were PDS alumni. • In the Lower School, over 50% of the members of the Order of the Owl (for weighted average 93 and above for 7th graders and 90 and above for 8th graders) were PDS alumni. • 67% of the MUS summa cum laude graduates last year were PDS alumni. • 17 PDS alumni seniors last year were recognized as either National Merit Finalists, Semi-Finalists or Commended Scholars.
From the Lower School to the Senior Class, the data shows that PDS graduates are excelling at MUS. We are proud of how our graduates are performing at other schools as well. We will continue to monitor 8
PDS Grads: On MUS Honor Roll
Out of 293 PDS graduates 56% at MUS last year, 164 earned a spot on the academic honor roll their performance and familiarize ourselves with the curriculum and educational philosophies of other schools, but, of course, we will continue to let our educational principles guide curriculum and instruction at PDS. And we base our educational principles and curriculum on what we believe are the most important skills and knowledge to possess in the dynamic 21st century.
Prepared for the 21st Century
We live in an era of rapid and unprecedented growth and change. The world is increasingly connected, interdependent and diverse. We are in the midst of an explosion of knowledge, technology and world population. The re-emergence of China and India will likely
have a profound impact on the global community in the decades to come. A question with which we wrestle frequently and deeply at PDS is this: what does it mean to be well-educated in the 21st century? The answer is different than what it means to be well-educated last century… or even last decade. Among the surveys done on what are the most important 21st century skills, answers have tended to fall recently into five broad categories: • Critical thinking and lifelong learning • Collaboration/Teaming • Imagination and creativity • Character and integrity • Emotional intelligence/empathy/social judgment
Traditionally, schools don’t focus on these sorts of skills. Most schools, including those with good reputations and track records, still teach essentially the same things in the same ways that they did a generation or more ago. It’s been said that it’s easier to change the course of history than a history course. At PDS, we believe our boys deserve better than that. They need more than that. We must be a school of tomorrow rather than a school of yesterday.

It takes a lot of ambition, training and hard work to do those sorts of things…things that don’t happen by accident or default or without resources. It’s why we sent 28 people to Harvard this summer for intense training from some of the world’s leading thinkers and voices on education. It’s why we visit and network with many of the country’s most outstanding schools. It’s why we bring educational consultants to PDS and read about educational research and best practices; it’s why we require teachers to set professional development goals, why we have teacher task forces and committees, and why we have a Teaching and Learning Committee charged with raising and answering difficult questions about the world and our curriculum.

• Memorize a lot less and apply ideas a lot more. • Actively engage boys in the learning process rather than expecting them to passively hear, record and recall information. • Expect them to be creative and generate their own ideas. • Focus on essential understandings rather than covering a lot of facts. • Ask boys more often to demonstrate their understandings through projects, presentations and performance tasks rather than worksheets and traditional assessments. • Push them to analyze, synthesize and connect ideas. • Focus on real writing rather than simply diagramming sentences and memorizing grammar rules. • Pose stimulating questions to them without simple answers. • Give them tasks and projects in which they must collaborate with classmates. • Connect the curriculum. • Actively use thinking routines and discuss their thinking with them. • Video-conference with students around the world. • Give our social studies curriculum a global focus. • Embrace diversity. • Continue to strengthen our Building Boys, Making Men curriculum that gives our boys a definition and vision of manhood and that helps to develop faith and character.

It would be easy to sit back, be complacent and rest on our reputation and laurels. But that’s not who we are. We are life-long learners, and we are preparing our boys to thrive and lead in a world that will expect and require a different skill set—and thus different types of schools, It’s harder to measure these 21st century skills than it is to see how they are performing on standardized tests or at their next schools. But we can measure the inputs and processes, and we can see each day incredible instruction that will help train the mind for a lifetime of critical and creative thinking and collaborative learning.

I am grateful that our mission is about so much more than preparing boys to earn spots on honor rolls or even to be good thinkers with a thirst to continue learning. Our mission is a holistic one that seeks to nurture the heart, soul, mind and body of each boy. I am grateful that we teach and mentor boys during the most formative years of their lives. Their faith, character, values, world-view, intellectual curiosity, and love of learning are largely set during their elementary years.
Thriving Today, Prepared for Tomorrow
The Building Boys, Making Men program we designed a few years ago gives our boys a definition and vision of what it means to be a godly boy and, one day, a godly man. We are as intentional about teaching good character, values and morals based on our Christian principles as we are teaching them about inference or mathematical reasoning. Through chapels, class meetings, seminars and retreats, we teach them about our seven virtues of manhood: The True Friend, The Humble Hero, The Servant Leader, The Heart Patient, The Moral Motivator, The Bold Adventurer, and The Noble Knight In addition to the Building Boys, Making Men curriculum, they will have seen, up-close, Christian community and worship. They will have experienced godly men and women praying for them, loving them, and mentoring them. They will have attended 560 chapels and 405 Bible classes. They will leave PDS with an expanded vision for their lives, with a sense of God’s incredible love for them, and with an opportunity to respond to what Christ did for each of them. They will be, we hope and think, different and better leaders, men, husbands and fathers due to their years at PDS.
That all seems a long way away from Pre-Kindergarten boys who today are learning letters and patterns and Mandarin, but the connection between what they are learning today and who they will be as scholars, leaders and men is a direct and powerful one. We owe each boy our best efforts, our best resources, and our best investments. And there is no greater investment that
a person can make than in the life of another person…especially during the most strategic time for making that investment. To the many of you who invested in these PDS boys last year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your investments are paying great dividends, and the dividends will only increase in the years to come.

Guiding Educational Principles for the st 21 Century Preparing PDS Boys for the World of Tomorrow
12
Guiding Educational Principals for the 21st Century
Principle 1 – We will take a holistic approach to education, meaning that we care about and intentionally educate and nurture the heart, soul, mind and body of each boy. As part of this holistic approach, we will teach and promote the development of strong morals and character and offer boys a vision of Godly manhood. Principle 2 – We will know, nurture and love every boy at PDS as a unique child of a loving God, and we will keep at the front of our minds that we are teachers primarily of boys and secondarily of subjects and skills. Principle 3 – We will, in an ageappropriate, gracious and faithful manner, teach the Bible and present and model the tenets of the Christian faith such that each boy, regardless of his background and beliefs, leaves PDS as a good student of the Bible and of the Christian faith, including knowing what the Christian believes is necessary for salvation. By how we intentionally relate our subjects and various ideas to a Christian worldview, we will also give each boy the opportunity to develop a Christian worldview that can serve as a lens or framework for how he may understand the world.
Principle 4 – We will, as a learning organization in the 21st century, be careful and deliberate students of our world, engaging in serious professional development, research, and curricular design. In a dynamic world, we shall consider divergent thinking, embrace change, innovate, and risk sometimes failing as we seek to design an ever-better curriculum and learning experiences. Principle 5 – We will orient our curriculum and teaching to align with the skills, knowledge and perspectives required in the dynamic and diverse global community of the 21st century. Such skills include the ability to think critically, creatively and connectedly; see patterns in seeming chaos; make creative connections; apply knowledge to novel situations; design, create and tell stories; collaborate and communicate clearly; utilize technology facilely; wrestle with questions without simple solutions; manage ambiguity; adapt to change; and have the inclination and ability to embrace life-long learning.
and students in assessing how we are performing. Additionally, we will develop partnerships with outstanding schools in other parts of our country and the world. Principle 7 – We will teach in a way that seeks to maximize learning for every boy. We believe that all boys can learn and have differing intelligences and learning styles, such that our teaching should intentionally incorporate this diversity and thus be flexible and versatile.
Principle 6 – We will orient our curriculum such that it has a global perspective, and we will consider standards and comparisons to foreign schools 13
Guiding Educational Principals for the 21st Century
Principle 8 – We will view assessment as a way not simply to measure learning, but as a way to promote it. Our assessments will be increasingly varied and have a heavy mix of performance and other tasks, including many real world tasks, that not only demonstrate understanding, but that allow diverse learners flexible opportunities for demonstrating their learning. As necessary, we will create our own assessments that measure learning and progress, especially
those that include skills not readily measured by standardized tests and that can help us chart the progress of boys over the course of a school year. Principle 9 – We will seek to enroll boys from more diverse backgrounds. Recognizing that boys learn from one another and need the skill to develop relationships with people from various backgrounds, our greater diversity will be an asset to all boys and more consistent with the Biblical mandate to see past the superficial differences that easily divide us. Principle 10 – We will, as a school, have balance among our overall programs, and excellence in each area. Principle 11 – We will be boy-specific, boy-themed and boy-friendly in all aspects of PDS. As such, we will extensively study how boys best learn and develop, and we will apply such findings throughout all parts of the school.
14
Principle 12 – We will, by executing well the principles in this document, prepare our boys for scholastic success at any schools at which they would matriculate, and, though we will study the curriculum of the schools where our graduates matriculate, it is these PDS principles that will guide us as an institution. Principle 13 – We will attend carefully and intentionally to our own health, wellbeing and growth, especially our spiritual growth, so that we will be at our best as we teach, model and mentor our boys. Principle 14 – We will treat our teachers as professionals, holding very high standards for them and evaluating their performance against school goals; pushing them to grow continually; providing significant opportunities for professional growth, reflection and renewal; and rewarding excellence in tangible ways.

Acknowledgments PDS is blessed to have so many individuals who willingly give of their time, talents and treasures so that our boys can have the very best learning environment. Last year, among other things, PDS volunteers participated in our buddy program for families new to the school, served lunch alongside our 6th graders at a nearby rescue mission, acted as ambassadors for our admission events, assisted with the sports banquet, made phone calls on behalf of our annual fund and completed gift solicitations for our capital campaign. Members of the PDS Parents’ Association supported the school by organizing numerous activities including the PDS Book Fair, Spirit Sale, Berclair Elementary School Partnership, Accelerated Reader Auction, Gift Wrap Sale and Father/Son dinner. Other PDS volunteers shared their guidance and wisdom by participating on various boards, committees and strategic task forces to outline PDS’ trajectory into the 21st century. On behalf of the faculty, staff and administration of PDS, thank you for joining us in our efforts to advance the mission of this very special school.
