Grow with us.

We are First Presbyterian Day School, the only school in the Jackson-metro solely focused on a child’s most formative years: Pre-K through 6th grade. We welcome and celebrate each child – and we challenge them to reach their full potential. During their time at FPDS, students develop a strong foundation grounded in faith, as well as a personal conviction of academic excellence.

Learn

Our students learn to be “learners”. We engage them with thoughtful teaching styles and technology to spark curiosity and develop a personal conviction of academic excellence.

Grow

Our students grow into their full potential with leadership opportunities and the support of a tight-knit community. Every child sees the world differently, so we build our world around theirs.

Go

By 6th Grade graduation, our students have built a strong foundation grounded in faith and self-confidence. So they can go on to do great things wherever their future leads.

  • FPDS builds the foundation of a Christian education based on the infallibility of scripture. The school fulfills the mission of training a child up in the way of the Lord. My hope is that my children will build on these core values the rest of their lives.

  • When you have a child at FPDS there is peace in knowing that they are being loved and prayed for daily. Every one of their teachers and staff are rooting for their success. It's ok to mess up and try again. Grace is given, love is given, and academics are superior.

    Janice Fulton, Parent

  • I am flooded with joy knowing that FPDS is anchored in truths that don't change: namely its unwavering commitment to the Bible and the Gospel of grace. Additionally, the history and generations of faithfulness, the outstanding quality and warmth of the faculty, the godly character of the leadership, and the intentional care we receive from the school community has made our time at the school a sweet mercy and delight.
