Description

St. David's School is a private independent Episcopal preparatory school in Raleigh, North Carolina named after the patron saint of Wales, St. David. The school states its mission as "preparing young men and women for college and life, by providing challenging opportunities to excel in the vital areas of faith, virtue, and knowledge." The school includes pre-elementary, elementary, middle, and high school that prepare students for secondary and tertiary education.HistoryFounded as Hale High School, the school graduated its first class in 1973. In the fall of 1990, St. Timothy's Middle School, grades 6-8, was added to the existing White Oak Road campus. By the end of the school year, the Board of Trustees voted to combine Hale High School and St. Timothy's Middle School, resulting in the emergence of St. Timothy's-Hale School.In November 2002, the Board voted to add grades K-4 for the fall of 2003. In the spring of 2003, the school was renamed St. David's School and was expanded to include all grades, K-12, on the same campus. Its mission was clearly articulated at that point as one which merged a reputation as a rigorous college preparatory school with a biblical worldview, thus leading to its "Faith, Virtue, Knowledge" motto. By the 2007-2008 school year, enrollment at St. David's stood at about 540 students. The 2008-2013 school years brought additional sections in lower school which brought the student body to today's enrollment of more than 630.In 2012, a large expansion project was completed, including a new gym with weight room and locker rooms, a student commons area, additional offices and classrooms, a theater, fine art facilities, a modern dining hall, and more. In 2013, a 32-acre satellite field complex was added to enhance the athletic facilities. In 2015, a major renovation of the Dining Hall enabled high-quality, reasonably-priced dining services to be introduced. 2015 also saw the groundbreaking on a major expansion to the lower school, which was then finished just before the start of the 2016-2017 school year. Also before the 2016-2017 school year, the former Middle School 7-8 grade building, St. Albans, was torn down to make way for a new construction project. The project was not started until the end of the school year and is expected to be a three story Middle School building.
