[1] The school's official mission is "to educate students who will serve God and impact the world through biblical thought and action."

Originally only at the Malin Road campus on the grounds of the George W. Strawbridge, Jr. estate, it expanded in 1968 with the purchase of the Alice Grim school at Bishop Hollow Rd.

For the 2008-2009 academic year DC, joined the Bicentennial League rejoining former SCCL rival Devon Prep.

DC made notable changes to the interior of the Devon Campus upon purchase, principally to expand some classrooms, allowing for a raised student cap and increased class size.

This move provided DC with new standards of facilities that were physically impossible at the Bishop Hollow Campus, in the center of bustling Newtown Square.

Amenities include a full-size gym with locker rooms, ample field space, a chapel, air conditioning (a notable feature lacking at the previous campus) and more classrooms, allowing for growth in the DC elementary program.
