We left Trinity Valley after after one terrible year. My son dreaded the mention of school. He is typically the type of child that loved going to school. The teacher was new did more bullying than the kids. So many kids on need based scholarships. School doesn't feel like exclusive. So many other schools in the area. Save yourself the agony. The moral behavior of the teaching staff at TVS is absolutely horrific. Be cautioned- If your kid isn't on a sports scholarship spend your money elsewhere.

We left Trinity Valley after a hellacious ongoing series of bullying episodes. The moral behavior of the students at TVS is absolutely horrific. I would warn ANY and EVERY parent to steer clear of this school.

My son will be a Senior next year and has been at Trinity Valley School since third grade. I cannot say enough good things about this school. The caring and inspiring faculty hold him to his best. The athletic opportunities to participate and try so many sports led him to a love of lacrosse. The arts program has grown his creativity. The drama program, his sense of responsibility and fun. The outdoor program offered him leadership opportunities. Through the Global Initiatives program he has also had the experience of hosting a student from another country. And to top it off, the group of classmates he has as friends are kind and respectful young men and women that I imagine will remain in touch for years to come. He has become articulate, well-educated and confident. Thanks to TVS he will have the blessing of choosing a college that matches his interests and he will contribute to the betterment of the world. Go Trojans!

This school is all about status, money and making students "feel good about themselves" - which is wonderful if feeling good means one has accomplished something significant. At this institution, faculty regularly give (and administrators encourage them!) to give 100% points for mediocre or even sub-par work. No "good feeling" can take the place of good old fashioned work, study, learning and discipline. In a very suspicious move to "get students who can pay in" the school is disturbingly sacrificing basic educational and moral standards for social elitism and material supremacy (there have been many novels written on this topic, warning us of the consequences - Nineteen Eighty Four, Brave New World, and more recently, Hunger Games.)

This is our first year at TVS, our daughter is in kindergarten. I must say that the school has met and exceeded our expectations. As long as we can afford it we plan to stay. The staff has been excellent from top to bottom. Parent involvement is huge and encouraged. Just a great group of educators and a great learning environment.

Teachers, administrative staffs are beyond amazing!!!!!!!! I love our family's experience there. Can't wait for the second one to get in. I would recommend to anybody who is looking for the best private school at DFW area. Money well spent! My schedule is booked with my kids' school activity, and I LOVE IT!!!

The "proof is in the pudding" as the saying goes. I have four children who have either completed thier upper school education at TVS or are currently enrolled in the middle and upper school. The two graduates include a 26 year old daughter who is now practing law in Texas and a 22 year old son who attended a top 25 private liberal arts college and is now working in the oil and gas industry. The instruction and academic atmosphere are excellent at TVS. Each child is able to find thier own stride and pursue academic and athletic interests that helped to develop a well rounded individual. Peers are an important factor in character development and we have found that the parents at TVS are great at communicating with each other with concerns about group activities. We would rate this school in its totallity as "superior" in the DFW area.

I have been going to TVS since 1st grade. I love my school and could not imagine going anywhere else. I am very close with my teachers and they want to help me be the best student I can be. They are very understanding and also seem happy with their job. They are excellent and I feel that they have prepared me for life. They have shown us leadership and make us ask questions that are outside of the box. TVS challenges its students making us go beyond what we think is possible. Academics, Athletics, Arts, and Theater are all very strong. The School along with its classrooms are beautiful, and it is a comfortable environment where people are not afraid to be themselves. Due to the size of the school we know everyone in the grade which makes us like one big family :). Never in my TVS experience have I been bullied or putdown. TVS is a wonderful school and I would recommend it anyone

We love Trinity Valley School's lower school. We've been here for 4 years with two kids with very different personalities and the teaching staff has been amazing at working with both of them. The teachers are constantly learning and working on being better. You can tell they are truly called to teach. Same thing with the lower school principal who is AMAZING. She takes the time to say hello and give her full attention to every child who approaches her and makes them feel like they are her #1 student. It is an amazing ability. She runs the lower school like a well-oiled machine but in a way that makes it feel like a loving family. We are also big fans of the head of school----he has made some staffing changes in the middle and upper school which apparently have upset some parents, but it is clear that he has a vision for the school and is not afraid to shake things up to meet his goal. I personally like that----too many schools keep on people who need to go just because they don't want to rock the boat. The teachers who have been brought on are fabulous and dedicated to keeping the academic standards high. It is well worth the financial sacrifice for my children to attend.

Many many people like the current Headmaster, as well as the Middle School Head. These current Heads of schools are always available whenever you need to talk. They truly are very qualified, but very humble and approachable. Their causes may be misunderstood, but ethically, they are good people. They are especially kind, friendly, and respectful and towards the children. The goal is evident--to bring out the best in TVS community. It may a challenging task, but anything worthwhile always requires fortitude.

I feel that Trinity Valley has really pushed me to do my best and study as hard as I can to get an A. I learned that you can't become a millionare by sitting around and doing nothing: you have to work hard. I also learned that disipline is vital. I belive there are wonderful teachers at Trinity Valley and they are always willing to help the children and their parents. The teachers make it fun and educational. I have wonderful friends a Trinity Valley and they are all kind and considerate (as well as their parnents). I feel that none can contend with the great enviorment, staff and beautiful campus that Trinity Valley has.

My daughter attended TVS from K thru 8. We moved to Houston and had her enrolled at the Awty International School. I can say that this was the best education she could have received. She had many academic scholarship offers in her senior year. So she was able to choose the college that she thought was the best fit. She woud up having a zest for learning. She decided to stay in college until she received her PhD. Now that she is married and has two children, she is planning to send them to a private preparatory school. I consider TVS tjhe best investment I made. That is why the Yale admissions office considers it the best private preparatory school in the Ft. Wiorth-Dallas area.

The parents at this school are terrible human beings. And this directly correllates to the children. They all suffer from eliteism and treat others extremely poorly. The tuition is ridiculous and increases every year. I am moving and taking my kids away from this unhealthy atmosphere. SO DISAPPOINTED!!!
