Mission / Vision / Philosophy
 Mission
St. David's is an independent Episcopal school that prepares young men and women
for college and life by providing challenging opportunities to excel in the vital
areas of faith, virtue,
and knowledge.
Vision
St. David's seeks to serve as a model Christ-centered college preparatory school
by equipping its graduates to successfully engage and impact their generation for
Jesus Christ.
Philosophy
Reading Article IX, Section 1, of the North Carolina State Constitution, it is clear
that our forefathers saw education as a major component in keeping our nation strong:
"Religion, morality, and knowledge being necessary to good government and the happiness
of mankind, schools, libraries, and the means of education shall forever be encouraged."
As echoed in the State Constitution and the charge found in 2 Peter 1:5, the mission
of St. David's School is to endow its students with "religion" (Christian faith),
"morality" (virtue), and knowledge to fully prepare them for college and life. With
a sound biblical worldview at the foundation, students are given an absolute standard
to know right from wrong so that their knowledge may be rooted in truth and used
for noble pursuits. To accomplish this goal, St. David's offers a vibrant college
preparatory program designed to challenge students to question and think critically,
cogently and creatively. Combining traditional, classical, and innovative curriculum
and teaching methods, our educational program provides a strong biblical and academic
foundation for each student. However, no factor contributes more significantly to
our educational program than a superior faculty. We seek talented teachers who are
inspired by our mission and who can energize students and themselves in the learning
enterprise. The growth and retention of inspirational teachers who are strong Christian
role models for students is an important long-term factor in realizing the school's
mission and vision. By equipping our graduates to successfully engage and impact
their generation for Jesus Christ, we hope to serve as a model Christ-centered college
preparatory school for North Carolina and beyond.
