“Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of

”true education. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. From enriched academics to athletics to fine arts, Trinity is devoted to nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our dedicated teachers utilize a forward-thinking, evidence-based curriculum that goes beyond core competencies, extending into areas like social-emotional learning, digital citizenship, and design thinking. We’re teaching our children about positive selfimage, integrity, personal responsibility, and how to be caring, empathetic human beings. You can see it in everything we do—not just in Chapel but in classrooms, at sports practices, and in all aspects of school life. We want each of our students to build a rich and fulfilling life, not just a résumé. Trinity students matriculate into some of the finest institutions in the country based not only on the quality of their education, but also their character.
