The PCW Speaker Series features well-known authors, educators, and other professionals presenting on today’s issues, theories, and practices impacting our independent school community – one in the Fall and one in the Spring.
The PCW Board chooses speakers based on areas of expertise, current publications, and the PCW annual theme. These particular programs are open to member school parents, faculty, administrators and as space and program permit, the general public.
