This school has changed a lot over the years, and it has become difficult to feel completely comfortable sending my kids here. The front office atmosphere is very unwelcoming, which makes simple things like calling in a sick day stressful for parents and intimidating for the students. Overall communication is lacking. We've experienced a few major communication breakdowns, including a staff member harshly handling a simple food misunderstanding with my child, and a very serious incident where my daughter suffered a head injury at school but I was never notified. Finding out your child has a mild concussion only because she called you herself at lunchtime is something no parent should go through.After moving our children to a different local TCAPS school, the contrast is night and day. The communication and community engagement here are lacking by comparison. Other schools offer a vibrant calendar full of family events, dances, carnivals, and field trips that really bring everyone together, whereas this program feels very bare. It’s disappointing because the school started out so strong, but the current environment and lack of communication just isn’t it.

Things have changed. I wanted to give two stars but since our previous years ha e been really good I gave 3.Mr Peters is gone and the office staff that was trained by our two amazing staffers who retired last year are gone (I am certain there is an interesting story there that's being kept from parents) The teachers are amazing and being run ragged with all the behavior issues as there are 16 or 17 "level 3" students needing constant emergency attention as they "melt down" daily. Our amazing school is dying from the top down.

Terrible and we moved to a school where they truely care about kids and not the test scores, cliques, or paychecks.

Both of our children went through The Children's House and are now in high school and college. They both approach learning with curiosity and interest, excel academically, have high emotional intelligence, and are socially mature for their ages. I credit their experience in Montessori all the way through 8th grade for how they approach life and learning differently from me, their dad, and each other. They are unique individuals who are comfortable in their own skin, appreciate the strengths and differences of others, are always kind, have strong morals and work ethic, and are interesting, confident, and adventurous. I can't imagine a better place to spend so much time in school.

Hands down, it's a great Christian educational experience. All of my children have attended Trinity and have benefited greatly.

I attended this school system from Preschool through High School. It was an incredible experience the whole way through, and helped ready me for college significantly. I am graduating from Hillsdale College this year, and even here I noticed how better prepared I was for this institution than my peers. The in class experience is very engaging and the student to faculty ratio is very low. Teachers are very keen on attendance and will reach out if students are unexpectedly not present. The community is truly what sets this school apart. My teachers and classmates all knew my family, as I did theirs. All extracurricular events are very well attended because of this community.
