Trilogy School is a very special, unique school in many respects. The most important difference to all other educational institutions that I have been able to experience myself or as a parent is that every teacher builds up a real relationship with every student and is genuinely interested- teachers actually care! This is partly due to the favorable teacher-student ratio and partly due to the great personalities of the teachers. The fact that personal values and interests of each student are explicitly asked about and worked out increases the motivation to give their best and to make an effort. The needs of the students are addressed - and everyone can learn as much as they want and at the pace that suits them. In the end, much more is learned with this method than under pressure – Our kid feels seen, challenged but not constantly overwhelmed. Individuality is seen as a resource here, not a disruptive factor. They say that it takes a whole village to raise a child. We have found this village in Trilogy School and are very grateful for the wonderful impact they have made.

Amazing. Our child is night and day compared to his time in public school.

As a former student and now parent of two current students, I can not say enough great things about this school. They nurture each student's love of learning which lasts a lifetime, creating caring, thoughtful, and successful contributors to society. Each child is treated as an individual, a partner in their education, which leads to valuable character building and skillets that extend beyond simple book learning. Trilogy is a wonderful place and tremendously valuable to the Gainesville community.

This school has every opportunity for a child to be successful!! One on one teaching and small class environments offer the student the ability to get the education they deserve. It is not "just" a job to Quinn Wiggins and his staff, they truly devote themselves to your child!

Individualized attention, no standardized testing and an excellent educational atmosphere where the children/students can express their individuality in a respectful environment that is both mentally and physically safe.

My daughter has been a student at Trilogy for 4 years and we could not be happier. It's a school where everyone fits in and every child is given the opportunity to be successful. They put a lot of focus on character and virtues and are able to create an environment where bullying truly does not happen. The teachers at Trilogy never lose sight of the fact that they are teaching the whole child and each child learns differently. Because they don't have to teach to the test, they are able to enjoy a multi-sensory approach to learning, involving divergent thinking, project based learning, and of course lots of creativity! Trilogy is what every school should be.

I have seen the progress my grandchild has made at this school both socially and academically and it is outstanding. The staff is dedicated and well qualified. I think children get a better overall educational experience here than in the public school system.

Trilogy is unique in Gainesville as a school that free students the regime of endless and useless testing. Trilogy chooses instead to offer experiential, project-based learning, small classes and a wonderful sense of community. The teachers are thoughtful and kind and supportive and give a lot of individualized attention to students. Kids with all kinds of learning styles work together in teams and benefit from daily P.E., outdoor play and mindfulness exercises. My child has definitely benefitted all of the school's strengths.

Couldn't be happier with the curriculum, staff and environment of Trilogy. Since enrolling our child here he has made leaps and bounds in his academic progress but most importantly his relationship with learning has improved in ways we never thought possible!

My husband and I are very pleased with Trilogy School. The teachers and the directors have bent over backwards to help our 9th grader son thrive, both academically and emotionally. He has learned manners, to be an empathetic person, to value education and to strive to be the best student and person that he can be. For him, this means striving to go to a first tier college, which is possible from an education at Trilogy because they challenge each child appropriately according to their abilities and goals. The nurturing environment makes my son rise up and rush to school every day. No more excuses or stomach aches or not doing homework. He does it and he excels.

Trilogy School is designed to provide an individualized learning experience for each student. Kids work with teachers to develop learning styles and practices. We focus on simulations and project based learning.

Intelligent and empathic leadership make this school a great alternative to public schooling. It is especially suited to students who benefit from consistent, confidence-enhancing guidance as they explore their many interests. The directors and teachers value student engagement and format instruction to ensure strong and enthusiastic student participation in each subject area. The school adheres to state standards to make sure that students learn the necessary skills and knowledge expected of them in the academic years that follow graduation from Trilogy -- the true difference in students' academic experience at Trilogy is the opportunity to extend their learning with the full support of their teachers and classmates. There is no limit set on how much a child can learn and apply in a variety of creative and sophisticated ways. A student cannot over-reach in this environment. If there is an intellectual marathon to be run, the teachers will run as far as the student needs to go while keeping the pace and motivation in tune with the task. It is amazing when you come across a teacher that shows this level of dedication. At Trilogy, you get a whole school to marvel at.

I have one middle schooler at Trilogy and have been pleased. Having two children attend public school most of their lives, it has been a change in multiple ways. It is not as structured as the public schools which can be good and bad but because the school is so small, it is easier to change plans as needed. My son is fairly quiet but feels like he is part of the group. The kids learn on their individual needs but all still have goals they have to meet.

I have two children at Trilogy and they have very different needs, but somehow Trilogy is the best fit for both girls. They seem to plan around the educational/social needs of each child. Both girls started Trilogy in the 6th grade and are now in high school. Trilogy was the best decision I have made for them. The teachers actually care about my kids. Truly Care, and that makes all the difference in their educational experience. I have a child who has a very hard time in school, she truly struggles in almost every way academically. She LOVES to go to school at Trilogy. It is summer and she can t wait for school to start

I have two children at Trilogy, I love this school! The teacher and the directors put the happiness and well being of my children first. They are receiving a well rounded education including life skills and how to be overall good people. I was looking for a school who taught the children all they need to know not just taught to past a test at the end of the year. My kids have been to other really good private schools for elementary and we also tried a charter school for middle school with a horrible experience. Quinn the middle and high school director helped one of my children to overcome a terrible school experience and help them to feel comfortable and safe at school again. I will be forever grateful to Trilogy School and Quinn and Terri Wiggons. This school is all about the kids!!!

I was looking for a small private school for my son who struggles in reading. Trilogy School was recommended by my previous manager. I went and met with the teachers and immediately fell in love with the school. This was the first time I have ever had my son wake up on his own and be ready for school before it was time to leave. Not every child learns the same way, the elementary school teachers take the time to understand how each student learns and builds on that, which in turn builds their self-esteem. My son was lost in public school and being at Trilogy has done wonders for him. He has become a more confident person and a successful confident student.

My eldest child graduated from Trilogy in 2011. His last two years he dual enrolled at Santa Fe and was very well prepared to handle the college courses that he took. He was an honors student while enrolled at Trilogy and is now much sought after as a tutor. My middle child just finished his first year of high school at Trilogy and would not go anywhere else. My youngest still has a year of preschool, but he will attend Trilogy as well. This school educates and develops the whole child and I wouldn't put my kids anywhere else.

This school is not accredited! You cannot go straight to college when u graduate from this school! It is over-priced and full of kids from broken homes with NO structure or boundaries. Your children will learn everything you are trying to protect them from. DO NOT SEND THEM TO THIS SCHOOL! I speak from experience..

They have a personalized approach to teaching. They encourage thinking, not just memorization. The teachers all love kids and love teaching. Students from all walks of life find a safe and nurturing environment.
