Trinity Christian School is a place where students are allowed to openly profess their Faith. Their relationship with God is taken just as seriously as their education. Many students tend to come back to work, volunteer, or visit with the school.

I've never had a complaint about a teacher, in fact, the teachers are amazing. The administration is another issue. They have new administrators and they leave a lot to be desired. They no longer desire to have students who are different or are not "ideal." The school used to be wonderful & encourage students from all walks of life but that isn't the case anymore.

My children all attended Trinity Christian School. They have all graduated and now express a deep gratitude to the school for its high acedemic standards. They were taught how to write well and how to think for themselves. I would highly recommend this scbool.

Great School for your child if you are looking for caring teachers and smaller class sizes than public schools. I felt like my 2 children got a great education. I have one child that works fast and one that works slower. Yes there is homework but nothing compared to what it used to be and I liked the challange my children got at Trinity. My children have benefited greatly from the academic and life lessons learned at Trinity Christian School. I would highly recommend Trinity to parents who want there child to get a quality christian education. Don't get me wrong it is not a perfect school, with perfect kids, and perfect teachers. That does not excist anywhere. But when there is a problem it is always dealt with biblically. I have always felt like the staff listened to me and my concerns and were very helpful. My child was not a special needs child but did need help do to many illnesses. I have seen the school grow numerically and I think that is do to getting in quality teachers and updating curriculum and listening to the parents. I especially like the care I see with Spiritual development with all ages.

Great school if you are looking for outdated curriculum, teachers with little to no educational credentials, and staff paid well below minimum wage. The are some teachers who are dedicated to the school but many (especially in the 6-12 grade levels) show up sometimes, but usually don't. Homework expectations are very unfair to students and a small-minded, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality keep this school in the past, instead of adapting and moving forward. If you are a parent who wants your students to be sheltered and remain in a close-minded Christian mentality, please consider this school. If you want your student to succeed academically and socially, please enroll in the other public schools in the area.

We have two TCS graduates. We recommend that you start your children in k4 if possible. Our children started in grades 2nd and 6th. I regret the timethat was lost while they attended the public school progam. Trinity did a phenomenal job getting them to grade level in a short amount of time. Our lives are forever change thanks to the dedicated teachers at TCS.

Great place to educate your children. The teachers and administration truly care about your childs future. They will walk with you the extra mile to see your student succeed. I'm grateful for the difference they have made in our childrens lives. Our daughter is in college now and I'm so thankful for the advantages that Trinity has given her both academically and spiritually.

We have had children in Trinity Christian School since 2001 and are very pleased with the school. The ability to write well is taught from an early age, as is Bible verse memorization. Latin, logic, worldviews and rhetoric enable each child to become a thinking person who can communicate well. World and US history are covered thoroughly and government (including study of the US Constitution and other founding documents) and geography are two semester courses. Art, music, English, foreign languages, biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry and physics as well as four years of high school Saxon math are offered. Opportunities for sports, academic and music competition are available and encouraged. Classes are small and teacher/student ratio is low. There are weekly chapels in the grade school and daily devotions in the high school that encourage the children to walk with Christ. Conflict resolution is from a Christian perspective. Parental involvement is welcome. Trinity has done an excellent job of preparing our children for both college and for life.
