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 630. <ref>https://www.sdsw.org/history</ref> 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.

The school's website states that the role of college counseling is to help students translate their unique abilities and interests into post-secondary education goals, and ultimately, satisfying careers. It is the intent of the college office to provide students with the tools, resources, and individual support necessary to discover the colleges that best fit their skills and aspirations.<ref>https://sdsw.org/college_counseling</ref> ==Fine Arts== St. David's commitment to the fine arts emanates from an understanding of the important role of the arts in Western history. At St. David’s the fine arts are fully curricular, with required coursework in the arts in both the middle and upper school programs. Through visual arts, music (band, jazz band, and choir) and drama, students are encouraged to express themselves freely, thoughtfully, confidently, artistically, and joyfully through the arts during their school years. Extra-curricular activities include two drama productions each year and a show choir, among other opportunities. St. David's band and choral students travel annually to competitions and international tours. <ref>http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St._David%27s_Performing_Arts.jpg</ref> ==School For The Deaf== St. Davids now offers a fine school for the hearing impaired.
