My children attend PDA and have since K4, they are in the 3rd and 6th grades now. I personally attended public and private schools and benefitted from the smaller classes

I have been professionally and personally associated with PDA as well as public schools in Marion and Horry Counties since 1963. PDA stands out in quality of education, focused students, faculty, administration, and families. Parents are very supportive, involved, and are heard by the board and administration.

This includes sports, academics, leadership, christianity, social, and moral development. It truly is the best valued education available with the cost being minimal as compared to the money spent in public education. Public schools are quick to implement 'new' unproved and experimental practices and curriculum whereas PDA still produces academic excellence with tried and true practices and concepts with successful graduates going into a variety of colleges and professions. Parents are willing to pay taxes and also tuition to provide the best education for their children. Read less

The academic programs are excellent! Music classes have been very valuable. Our teachers are so great! Sadly, art was largely cancelled this past year due to unforseen circumstances.

We would greatly love to see the children with a stricter uniform-like dress code to eliminate the obsession with being a fashion plate, children as young as the kindergarteners dress to impress. The upper school kids have modesty issues. They are there to learn, not emulate bratz dolls, this only hurts feelings. Individuality can be expressed in academic achievement, helpfulness, and a sunny dispoition rather than clothing. Read less

Pee Dee is the best place for a child to get an education in Marion County. The classes are smaller so the teacher has more time to deal with students on an individual basis.
