My name is Ben Dover, and my son, Moe Lester was caught playing Roblox on zoom. It was sad. Judge triple Chin needs to be stopped.

Recently, graduated from the school and all I gotta say is what a terrible school. The principal Katherine Smith, terrible, worst principal you can ask for. She will say and do whatever for her own personal gain. DONT TRUST HER. Now, the Murphys are just as bad if not worse. If your currently In just pull your kids out or if your planning on attending don't.

We have been so blessed from our time with Trinity Pacific Christian. We feel so supported in our home education journey. There are many offerings like co-op, classes, clubs, field trips, park days, moms and dads support events, and many more. Our whole family has made wonderful friendships and we do not feel alone while homeschooling. The administration and board cares about each family's spiritual and emotional well-being in addition to academics. I'm so glad we chose to join this school and highly recommend it to other Christian families in the Condo Valley.

Trinity Pacific Christian School has been such a blessing for our family. We have enjoyed numerous programs that it provides including classes, field trips, father/daughter dance, park days, mom’s night of encouragement and many more. We are thankful for the support they provide educationally, spiritually, and socially. We have made life long friendships as a part of this school family. Highly recommend if you are looking for options in home education.

We have been a homeschool family for 16 years and have been part of Trinity Pacific Christian for many of those years. I am so thankful to be part of a homeschool “school” that recognizes how important and impactful it is for children to be raised in Christian homes, where they are educated and discipled by their parents. Trinity offers homeschool families additional support through classes, field trips, and like-minded connections. They have been one of the greatest blessings to our family over the last 16 years, and would highly recommend this group to others.

I am so thankful for the support and enrichment that Trinity Pacific Christian School provides for my family as we homeschool together. The leadership provides encouragement and resources to help me make the best choices for my family. The families of the school provide a community in which I can find support from other homeschool moms and my children can develop friendships. There are countless events and activities to choose from - field trips for all ages, spelling bee, science fair, a Prom-like dance for high school students just to name a few. Also, there are weekly optional classes that we can use to augment our education at home. Everything planned by the school exceeds a very high level of excellence. Overall, I have been very pleased with my experience with the school and I could not ask for more.

My children attended this school in the 1990s through 2006. There were many social activities for the kids to participate in. Many options are available for how to educate your kids - yourself, teachers, and Moorpark College when they get to middle school/high school. Students can participate in Mock Trial. There are field trips available for all ages. I love having the freedom to make the right choices for my family.

I am so grateful for Trinity Pacific Christian School. I very much enjoyed my time as a student at Trinity, but it wasn't until I returned to TPCS as a homeschooling parent that I realized what a wonderful and unique resource the school is for homeschooling families. First, they are a PSP, and what that means for me practically is that I don't have to worry about any paperwork, records, or legal concerns. Win! Second, the school provides myriad activities and events to enrich my homeschooling experience--field trips, spelling bees, promotion night and graduation. My kids and I have been able to cultivate friendships with these opportunities, along with just having lots of fun. Third, Trinity provides a wide array of wonderful weekly classes for elementary, junior high and high school students. It's great to have an opportunity for my kids to explore a subject that might not be my strong suit with caring teachers and other students. My second grader and kindergartener are excited about taking conversational Spanish next year so they can speak with Abuela and Abuelo in their native tongue. So fun! Finally, Trinity provides a great deal of support through the wisdom and encouragement of other homeschooling parents who have gone before. Homeschooling can be overwhelming at times, but the support I receive at Trinity Pacific Christian School make me feel like I can succeed.

I am a student who attended this school from kindergarten through 12th grade. In my last two years, the school leadership became very difficult to deal with. They cling to their traditions with an iron fist. Nothing except the tradition for this leadership board, and if you don't agree, you get slapped with huge monetary fines. Attendance and registration numbers have plummeted because the leadership is so, so hard to compromise with. Unless you're a star student on their mock trial team, you don't get a say in anything pertaining to your graduation or your school. The leadership here needs to open their eyes and realize that they are making it impossible for students and families to enjoy the homeschooling journey. I was let down by this school in every possible way, and so was every single kid in my graduating class. We didn't get what we were promised. I regret convincing my parents to stay in Trinity.Please stay away from this school. They are horrible to deal with and if you're not willing to bow to the traditions that nobody wants any more, you'll be better off homeschooling on your own. Or joining ACHEV. Or sending your kids to private school. Or public school. Or literally anything else.

We have been in this school for many years. I have enjoyed my experience with this school. This school has been a good fit for our family. My children have enjoyed the many classes and extra-curricular activities. If someone is not from a Christian background, does not like signing to policies for student behavior, etc.... This will not be the school for them.

Would never recommend to anyone with Christian values and accountability to God! Complete joke they named their institution "trinity".

I have enjoyed this school. We have been a part of it for 20 years. The Parent volunteer involvement can be too much for some but over all, we have enjoyed the school besides that.

Overall good. My kids have enjoyed the classes and having friends. I have seen some terrible things happen as a result of heavy-handedness which causes me to be reluctant to recommend the school. But I have also experienced support, friendship, and awesome field trips when I was there.

I have held off on writing this review for 3 months now. With that in mind I start with this: Homeschoolers beware, while you have embarked on a fabulous journey I would suggest you look elsewhere to travel it. While you will find many families that become good friends there are some very dark individuals that can make your student's life a living hell. We had been associated with Trinity for close to 15 years. Elementary years go by pretty uneventfully but much of that changes as you reach middle and high school years. Every year you hear whispers and stories about students leaving, those stories should have raised red flags with us but didnt. We listened to the administration saying that its all just gossip of disgruntled families, (no doubt you will hear the same about us). The main area to be careful of is dress code. If you have a distracting (attractive) daughter you will find some disturbing things happen. Inappropriate comments about dresses being distracting on certain girls, woman who stand behind girls and try to look down the front of their Soiree dress to see if too much cleavage is showing (because teen boys will try to do the same). These are just a couple of examples of incidents that occurred that should have warned me about the school.Finally I share the story that led to my daughter's withdrawal from school weeks before graduation. My daughter had the audacity to wear a romper to Disneyland during the school's Grad Night trip. Mind you this was during the day of the event before the event actually happened. She has had an issue with the dress code of the school for most of the year and on that night my daughter made another mistake, she confronted the adults she thought turned her into the school for this violation. She openly admitted that she made that mistake in doing this but that is no excuse for how she was treated for the next hour. A chaperone at the event was allowed to verbally attack my daughter for the following hour. The schools reaction is to ignore this and to make my daughter into the only person in the wrong. She had no history of discipline problems at the school and for her mistake she was crucified. The administration said her actions were intentional and decided to make an example of her. Threats of expulsion were made to my daughter as well as my family if we spoke out publicly about this, while at the same time a board member and the principal schedule a meeting with the rest of the senior class so that lies could be told about my daughter.If you have gotten this far I thank you for taking the time to read this. It is written for you so that you have a clear picture of what Trinity really is and so that you can make an informed decision about the education of your child.

Terrible. I was a student here through junior high, luckily I got out before high school. My sister wasn't so lucky. She left senior year after the leadership bullied her for a dress code violation at grad night. They are absurd, if you feel like you must home school, I recommend you stay away from these people.

This is a homeschool group not a private school. I would question any review that calls Trinity a private school since only the leadership calls it that. There are some wonderful families within Trinity. The parents are what make the school run, but the leadership is oppressive and rules through fear and fines. We homeschooled our children through Trinity and through other groups. If you are considering homeschooling I recommend you look elsewhere.

I am very blessed to be a part of this private school. I have graduated two from this school and have more children still in the school. Every parent is responsible for their own children, in regard to behavior and education, no matter where they are taught, public or private.

There are many wonderful things about TPCS. They provide many great opportunities for homeschooling families. However, all of these opportunities are a result of the members of Trinity taking initiative, and NOT the result of effective leadership. Virtually every interaction with the administration of this school leaves parents and students feeling disrespected and disregarded.
