Trinity School

I graduated from Trinity a number of years ago. I was so well prepared for high school and college. I felt like I had the foundations I needed to be successful as a student of higher learning, and many of the skills I learned at Trinity have set me up for success as a young adult in the workforce. It would have been nice to have more sports options, but I was more musical anyway. The small class sizes were great for me, and I really got to know my teachers and classmates. Trinity has the best campus, and the education I got was top notch.

I attended Trinity from kindergarten through 8th grade. I am hoping the school is different, but now that I am looking at schools for my young child, I cannot help but reflect on my upbringing here. I was a student that struggled greatly with the constant "worksheet" type of mentality. In young adulthood I was later diagnosed with attention deficit, which was really quite eye opening. As a young child, I spent so much of my time feeling great shame and experiencing immense criticism from many of my teachers because I struggled to focus. No help was offered or suggested. No resources were offered. I was labeled as unintelligent and my self esteem suffered for years after this. I was also a very artistic and musical child. The arts and music programs were so inferior to the public school system. Their math regimen was also so inferior to public school. It was very based on wrote memorization and note on mathematical concepts. If you are looking to raise an intelligent and down to earth child, I would consider elsewhere.

Two of my children graduated from Trinity and one is still at the school. The teachers have been phenomenal, as have the rest of the faculty and staff. Last year there was not a designated Spanish teacher for preschool or primary because the Spanish teacher retired, but other teachers filled in, as well as the Preschool Director who is a native Spanish speaker. The curriculum was the same as the Spanish teacher's who retired. They had worksheets in the preschool class, but mostly for handwriting, which made perfect sense. Children learn French and Spanish at Trinity, which I love! Most other schools don't teach French. My older children were so well prepared for high school!!

The school is an excellent choice for families looking for their kids to reach their best potential. Being an independent school Trinity has been able to avoid the “ teaching fads” that have come and gone and has successfully blended traditional teaching with contemporary concepts and new technologies instilling my lasting skills and values in the kids. Being relatively small school it creates a sense of family and kids become friends for life. In addition to having a middle schooler at this time, Our older child is in college now and the friends from Trinity still count in the circle of closest friends.

Our experience at Trinity has helped my children thrive. The school's philosophy of teaching children to love to learn, comes through in all they do and teach. It has helped my children evolve into great members of our community!
