I have had two kids at Trinity, with our youngest graduating this year. Great school as said in the other reviews. A few things standout. 1) High School Prep- My oldest complained about the work at Trinity but she was totally prepaired for HS. Her friends that came from Trinity and go to the same school
... Read more are also excelling. 2) Very Few School 'Incidents', especially when compaired to the public school. The principal and teachers run a tight ship and do not tolerate distractions. 3) Teacher Continuity and Dedication. These teachers make less than than their public brethren but are totally dedicated. Specifically Miss Casey. who is the most dedicated educator I have ever come across. Even the custodian is always helping out and even started and coached the Softball team. Read less

I will be leaving Trinty in jsut a couple of weeks and I believe it will be very hard for me to leave since the teachers and other students have been such a huge part of my life. I wouldn't want to be at any other school. From the sports to the academics to the dances and movie nights, everyone is so
... Read more involved and everyone knows one another. I think Trinity has given me such a good foundation that i will grow up to be a very strong, morally and physically, person. Read less

I enrolled my five year old son in kindergarten this year. I am overwhelmed by the degree of student investment demonstrated by the teachers and administrators at the school. They willingly surrender their evenings and weekends to guide the students in concerts and plays, community dinners and winter
... Read more carnivals. The curriculum emphasizes the fundamentals and critical thinking. The curriculum does not 'teach to the tests' yet the school boasts a 100% MCAS pass rate. Student education and development is well rounded with wonderful instructors in music, art and gym. The school cultures a strong sense of family and community. Wherever we go I hear shouts of hello to my son from fellow students of all ages and grade levels. Although, this is my first child in school I am not unattuned to the current school environment, I am a Professor at a local Community College. Read less

We have been a part of the Trinity family for 8 years and wouldn't change a thing. The administration and staff go above and beyond what they have to do to insure that our children receive the best education possible. They not only teach academics but help to instill morals as well. The children are
... Read more all treated equally from Pre-K to 8th grade and the J.H. students are a great help to their kindergarten and 1st grade buddies. Trinity offers a wide variety of extra curricular activities from sports to the arts and we are growing every day. With only a short time left at Trinity it will be a very sad day for our family to say goodbye and move on. Read less

I have two children at trinity. Everything I have experienced thus far has been very, very positive. I feel if I had to move tomorrow, that my children have been given such an unbelievable strong foundation that it will stay with them the rest of their time as students and as people. The staff is

I could not have chosen a better school for my child. My son entered kindergarten being a timid, quiet, overly sensitive individual. He cried on a daily basis for little things such as having to switch seats with a classmate. I had to literally pry him off my leg in the morning. We met with his teacher
... Read more and asked how we could help him become more confident with himself. His teacher responded, 'Have Faith,' and continue to praise and encourage him. A year later, now in 1st grade, my son is confident in himself and continues to excel academically. He was selected to perform a reading during one of the church services and was able to do the reading in front of a church audience. Trinity has helped my son to develop self-confidence, while teaching him the skills necessary in reaching the academic standards. The TCA staff is absolutely wonderful! Read less

Trinity is an excellent school and I would highly recomment Trinity to any parent looking for a well rounded, above average education for their child. The faculty are all very nice and you can see how much they care about each child. They are more involved than I have ever seen in the public schools
... Read more and they push their students to be the best they can be in all aspects. The fundraisers are a little extreme at the beginning of the year and the extra activities that each class does year round to raise money can hit your pocket book pretty hard but I guess being a private school this is somewhat to be expected. But despite that, I am so happy with Trinity that I would recommend them to anyone and anyone who asks. Read less

If Trinity had a large field where students could play athletics or at least have recess on a large grassy area, it would be 5 out of 5. Trinity is a tremendous school. Academically the children are pushed, and the they have to keep up. My concern of my children going to the public schools was that
... Read more they would not get pushed, and that the teaching and achievement level would be compromised by having to 'dumb down' what is taught so that everyone can keep up. The bar is set high. Teachers are dedicated, and not to pat ourselves on the back, I think the parents are dedicated. Without that any school will drop from excellent to average. The athletics are tremendous, participation is great and the parent, family and teacher support is great. Read less
