Mission and Vision

Phi Delta Kappa International, its members and chapters, have witnessed nearly a century of humankind's search for civic order, fairness, and justice. Change, its cadence quickened by invention and products of the mind, has produced unprecedented benefit and largesse for many, threat and despair for more. Education is, and forever will be, the guiding star to civilization and rite of passage to equity, honor, respect, dignity, and hope.

MISSION:The mission of Phi Delta Kappa International shall be to promote quality education, with particular emphasis on publicly-supported education, as essential to the development and maintenance of a democratic way of life.

VISION: As Phi Delta Kappa International faces the close of its first century, it dedicates itself to a new millennium. It is to be a dynamic worldwide organization, responding energetically to and acting on education issues and ideas. Technology will be its instrument of growth and development. It is to be an organization of high quality, valued for its educational leadership, research, and service. It is to be the leading proponent of free public education in democratic societies. It is to be the lead architect in the design of a seamless web of lifelong learning, contributing to social, economic, and political well-being.
