I love Trinity High School besides the strict rules and need for our huge uniform change this year. We get help when we need either by girls who are advanced at the subject or by teachers in the morning, durin our 3 period hour, or after school. The teachers are always willing to help and the reason

That is why we have many different times when we can recieve help. Love that school and I wish the others that attend feel the same way! Read less

My daughter is a junior in the IB program and is definitely very challenged by the program.

Trinity does promote the strength of women. They believe in their mission of educating strong, independent women. Unfortunately, I do not believe that the quality of education provided by the teachers is as strong as they believe. The girls at this school are very much out of control. They, like

I whole heartedly agree with all of the comments made by the previous people. This school is all about putting up a good front. They tell you that it has high standards for academics, of course there is no way to check that out because it is a private school. They are so rigid in their ridiculous rules,

There have been numerous teachers who cannot control the class, thus the whole class suffers. The assistant principal Miss Bigane really does nothing to promote communication. If you have any other choice available to you, make sure not to choose Trinity. Read less
