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!

Our family has had a wonderful experience at Trinity and I would highly recommend the school to anyone that is interested in a school that places high expectations for the students, but also equips them with what they need to succeed. I also am pleased with the values that are taught, the diversity of its students and the geniune care of the administration and teachers.

Completely heartbreaking. If your child needs any level of attention above standard (self-regulating) your child will be made to feel inferior and it will impact self-esteem.

Can't say enough good comments about Trinity. The campus is beautiful and inviting. It is safe! The teachers show so much love and compassion and really build into the kids character and knowledge. I feel at ease every morning when we drop off the kids and know they are in good hands.

Following St. Julie, Trinity focuses on teaching the children what they need to know for life. Problem solving skills, social, organizational, and academic, are taught by caring teachers who know what essential skills students will need through both academic and life challenges. The virtues program provides both stories and real life examples for discussion to help students make morally sound decisions. Service opportunities to school, community, and each other, are offered regularly to teach compassion and emapthy for all God's children. Love and respect for creation is taught and experienced with through our Green School initiatives. As a graduate of Trinity, and a current teacher, my Trinity experience strengthened my faith and created in me a lifelong excitement for learning. I still keep in contact with my classmates and teachers and am grateful for their impact on my life.

My children have been attending Trinity since Kindergarten and have been there for many years. The administration, faculty and families have provided my childen with more than a great education; they have provided a core set of values that they will carry with them forever. They have been taught not only to be the best person that they can be but to also help their community. This is truly a special school!

The staff will make a sugary sweet parade when you visit but the school doesn't have the best teachers or curriculum,. The students are spoiled and tend to be mean. Why would anyone pay tuition that is 1.5 times other Catholic schools in the area? This school is semi-Catholic with only 50% of students being Catholic, no priest and no associated Parish. It is a school with an identity crisis.

Trinity is a wonderful school that teaches our children not only great academics, but how to be amazing human beings. We have been at Trinity for the last two years and absolutely love it. The teachers are wonderful and our daughter has bloomed at Trinity. It is a nurturing environment where everyday your child is reminded of how special and unique he or she is. We could not be happier with Trinity.

My son is about to graduate from Trinity after being there since Kindergarten. I have found this school to teach him not only values and morals that are in sync with what we teach at home, but I find that the teachers have prepared him for his high school years. The independence he has acquired, along with the organizational skills and study habits will benefit him both in high school and in college. I could not be happier with the education and social experience my son has had at Trinity School.

Trinity is an absolutely wonderful school. The academics are rigorous, the teachers skilled and caring, and the leadership warm and inclusive. The parents are engaged in the activities of the school and this makes the day to day operations very smooth. We have been so happy with Trinity. As new parents to the school, we have been made to feel welcome and quickly a part of the Trinity Family. We were looking for a combination of excellent academics in a caring and nurturing environment, and that is what we have found. I cannot say enough about how pleased we are as a family at Trinity.
