In November 2002, the board of the newly independent St. Timothy's-Hale School voted to add grades K–4 for the fall of 2003.

Lower schools students can attend weekly visual and performing arts courses, and middle and upper school programs include visual arts[2] (drawing, painting and design), music (band, a cappella groups, and choir),[3] drama, and media production.

Extra-curricular activities include two drama productions each year—a fall play and winter musical—and a show choir.
