If you are looking for a woke, Liberal private school with quite good academics, HT may be a good fit. College placement is likely as good as it gets, as is the education to get one there. If you want a more Conservative Christian environment to go alongside the academics, look elsewhere...this indeed is a VERY Liberal institution. Gay agenda is acceptable as biblical doctrine, any opposition will be punished..."feel good" is the theme but true biblical values have never likely entered the building! We would still likely have sent our kids there but they should be honest about what they, Liberalism is prevalent everywhere!

My kids attend the Upper School and we have been very impressed by the quality of the faculty, school facilities, and students. They balance academics with extracurricular really nicely and have high expectations for the students all around.

All three of my children graduated from Holy Trinity. My youngest went from Pre-k3 through 12th grade. They received an outstanding education, and each one earned significant college scholarships. HT is full of caring, extremely competent faculty. They have an amazing college counseling team that provides exceptional guidance to students and parents, starting at an early age. If we had to do it again, we would absolutely select Holy Trinity.

This school's main interest is economic. My experience was short but unpleasant and costly. Read carefully the contract and all documents they provide before signing and enrolling your child. Contract is full of errors and omissions that will only affect you. They talk about teaching Christian values to the children but when it comes to money, that is all forgotten. They answer by threatening with their legal team and will stop at nothing for money; money they have not earned and do not deserve. They talk about respect for one's neighbors in their core values, however they don't care to listen to you, won't answer your questions, won't admit or fix their errors, won't consider your situation or care about how your family is affected. A school that lacks empathy and respect for others, that turns a blind eye to the errors in the system, that disregards parents' voices, and were communication only exists if it benefits them, will never be a good option for your child.

Beware of the recent sharp left turn in the curriculum with integration of Critical Race Theory in the curriculum. School chooses coursework that teaches students that riots and demonstrations against police are acceptable. This is not a true Christian school when intoxicated students are accepted to attend school functions and teachers speak in class about the back seat of a car can be used for “making out”. Multiple families were not allowed reenrollment after voicing curriculum and faculty concerns. School admits students with known juvenile criminal records if the student is a strong athlete. Safety for the female students is a concern. Save yourself $20K and go to a public school or research other private schools. Holy Trinity is not so holy.

We are a military family who moved to Patrick SFB in December 2020. Our son enrolled mid-school-year which wasn't easy for him, but he was warmly welcomed by HT. He received a student ambassador who made sure he knew where all of his classes were located and sat with him at lunch. He's just completed his second school year at HT and has bonded with friends and staff. I cannot say enough about Dr. Cobb, Alison Bell, Emily Totre, Marc Bailey, and all of the teachers at HT who are responsive to both students and parents. There are opportunities for students to volunteer and as a parent, I have enjoyed volunteering as well as substitute teaching at the lower school down in Melbourne. I tell other inbound military families to consider enrolling their school-aged children at HT. It's free to take a tour of the campuses and see what we are all raving about! Go Tigers!!

Choosing Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy for Junior High for my son was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. He has been challenged and engaged academically all year long and has met new friends. I can’t sing enough praise for the teachers and advisors’ responsiveness when we have questions or have needed help. We especially LOVE Mr. Wilson, he has been so encouraging to my son and helpful to our family. Holy Trinity is great place for kids to grown and find themselves. My son is involved in the Robotics program and has really blossomed with the encouragement of working alongside High School and other Junior High students. My son attended another private school in the area for Elementary and we never felt that he was truly challenged to his full potential. This year he has had the opportunity to take High School level math and all Advanced classes and has done well! Holy Trinity has helped enhanced his confidence and knowledge base.

Holy Trinity has been such a blessing to our family. Our children have loved attending school at the lower school, and are both looking forward to attending school at the upper school. The teachers, administration, guidance, and all of the staff encourage and foster a loving community for both the children and their families.

All three of our children attended and thrived at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. Our older son has an MBA, is happily married with their first child and wants to give the same HTEA experience and sense of community to his son. Our twins are in their final college semester. Our son has accepted an IT manager position, and our daughter is getting ready to start medical school this summer. Here’s an excerpt from her medical school journey blog, “Having gone to a small private school my entire life, I loved the more individualized attention and ability to form close professional relationships with faculty and staff.”

I can't say enough awesome things about Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy.. My daughter is thriving in 7th grade, the past 4 years have been wonderful. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are proactive and helpful. The communication from the teachers and staff is amazing. We always know what is going on, in each class, in the grade level and campus wide. The classes are small, there is before and after school help, the resources and technology are on point! The teachers have done a tremendous job in this difficult time, pivoting between in class students and online students. There are so many opportunities for after school enrichment, the arts, sports, clubs and other activities. If you have ever wondered about HT, I highly recommend scheduling a tour. Enrolling at HT was the best decision we have ever made. Go Tigers!

A focus on the whole child is what you will find at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. HT helps each child build their academics, character, community service, leadership, moral compass, athletics, and prepares each child for college and for life! The teachers and staff achieve this through instruction, compassion, hands on learning, daily chapel, empathy and love. Sending our children to HT was one of the best decisions for our children we ever made! We chose not only to send them to school, but to put them into an environment that would help us create the good people we wanted our children to become.

I love this school. Our daughters were both “lifers,” and the school helped shape them into the amazing young women they are today. Mind, body, spirit is a mantra that the community lives into every day. The school is not for everyone. Students, faculty and staff need to want to be a part of a community that promotes hard work and living into potential. It’s a very safe and comfortable place for those who want to be a part of something special.

Holy Trinity has been a great fit and the right academic choice for both our sons. We wanted a "bubble" that was not too small, not too big, challenging, inspiring while loving and kind ... My husband and I both grew up in the midwest. My early childhood education was within a catholic private school while my husband was in the public school system. The christian private school environment, the well rounded education including a "mind, body, spirit" comprehensive approach and the size of the student body checked all our boxes when we were looking for the perfect academic home to enroll our kids. We liked the separate campuses of a lower school (up to 6th gr) and an upper school (Jr and Sr high) and we appreciated seeing how long several teachers and faculty had been at HT as well as a handful of alumni students who returned to their alma mater to work and send their kids to HT. This had to be a happy home right? And many years later, we can say YES - HT has and continues to be a happy home for our family.Our boys began at the lower school in Kindergarten and are now at the upper school in 9th and 11th grade. When our boys were old enough to discuss their opinion about where to go to school, they always said yes to re-enrolling at HT. Which reassures us that our decision was the correct one.This past 2020 year, the pivot to remote learning has continued to meet the academic needs of our boys. They have adjusted well with the virtual platform and they have remained connected to their friends in creative and traditional ways. Both have been and continue to be very active in school activities, especially school sports. I can name several teachers and coaches that have made (and continue to make) a tremendous impact in their lives.Choosing a school took many hours of discernment - and I also found that the admissions team at HT spent the same if not more number of hours making sure the school was the right fit for each of our boys. Its obviously not one size fits all - and requires both sides to look at what is best for the child. However, in our case - HT was the right home at Kindergarten and continues to be the right home today (over 12 years later).

Our son and daughter are enrolled in the Lower School and we absolutely love this school! The teachers are caring and engaging and our kids love going to school. We recently moved from out of state and my biggest concern was my kids being able to adjust to a new school, and now, after a year and half here, my kids would not want to leave Holy Trinity. We love that the class sizes are small and the teacher/parent communication is great.

Having 2 children attending Holy Trinity Academy, one currently in the upper school and one in the lower school, my family has been given the great opportunity to evaluate all aspects of this school. From the school's response to the Covid-19 health crisis, to the physical safety of the student, and to the education of the student’s mind, body and spirit, we have nothing but high praise. In response to the Covid-19 health crisis, Holy Trinity developed a Safety and Health Guidelines to minimize the potential risk to the children. These safety measures included a Covid tracking app for temperature recording; mask-wearing protocol, hand sanitizers throughout; high touch areas sanitized throughout the day, new webcams and microphones for the remote learners making them a part of the actual classroom, as well as many other precautions.Both the upper and lower school also offer excellent physical security, from on-site deputies to onsite nursing care, it is evident that Holy Trinity truly values the safety of each student.The curriculum at Holy Trinity offers each student strong college prep academics, many AP classes, tons of electives, a wide variety of athletic offerings with well-coached sports teams, and their chapel/character education program exemplifies how the faculty and administration cares for the whole child. Holy Trinity also offers many leadership opportunities for students. The school is small enough for students and faculty to all know one another, building lifelong friendships, and small enough to allow students to focus on the challenging curriculum that private schools are known for. This school maintains high standards and expectations which will help them to easily transition into college.Teachers at Holy Trinity engage and teach with passion and love for their subjects. The Administration and College Counseling office advisors are very helpful to the student and to the student’s family. Holy Trinity is an all-around great community that welcomes students and their families.Students attending Holy Trinity grow to appreciate their value to themselves, their community and their future. Holy Trinity has this slogan, "start here go anywhere", and they live up to that expectation completely.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy is truly an extension of my family.The teachers go above and beyond to make sure each student has an understanding of what is being taught and will even take the time to explain the subject if there is a student who isn't understanding fully. Each teacher has the passion and love to teach, they want to teach and they want to be there to make sure each student excels in their dreams and goals.The students and my daughters'' classmates are respectful and kind. Each one knows how they want to be treated and treat each classmate that way. In the event that there is an issue it gets worked out with communication and teamwork to compromise. The academics is spot on. My daughters are challenged enough where they ask questions but will get the answer after talking it out with us, teachers or even classmates. I truly love the history lessons and how one teacher will make learning like scene from a movie. He will assign each student a part in the history lesson and each student is encouraged to act the part. It makes learning a lot more fun and entertaining. Sports at each campus is fun and there is a lot to experience. My youngest daughter is not very athletic but she was able to explore different sports to see if it was something that would interest her. My oldest daughter is involved in multiple sports at the upper campus and the coaching and skills that she has developed is going to be with her into her professional life weather it be in sports or not. HTEA is a school I do not worry about my girls. When they go to school I know they are being treated fairly, learning and having a great time doing it. HTEA is my family and will be my family for years to come and even after both my girls graduate.

Holy Trinity educates the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. My children start the day in chapel and end the day playing HT sports. They receive a rigorous education from caring and loving teachers. They all go out of their way to make them feel safe, loved, and valued. I can't say enough positive positive things about the faculty, staff, and administration. When you walk on campus, you become family I am proud to be a part of the HT family.

Our daughter has attended multiple schools, both public and private, in different parts of the country. By far, our experience at Holy Trinity has been the best. Due to the small environment, students receive personalized attention both academically and in extra curricular activities. The teachers make themselves available to help students at all times. As a parent, when entering the campus, you feel like part of a family and community. Initially, we met other parents who were so welcoming, helpful, and shared similar values. We feel confident that our daughter will be ready for college and will have a wonderful high school experience. Our family would highly recommend Holy Trinity!!
