Each Child, Each Day

When I reflect on our pledge to serve “each child, each day,” I see that phrase as an extension of the school’s mission “ and core values. We promise to create an environment that supports students as individuals, helps them know and value their gifts, and be confident in sharing those strengths for the benefit of those around them. We put our efforts towards developing the whole child, and we are committed to helping each one thrive to

the best of our collective ability. ”

Our Academic Approach — Meeting Students Where They Are

At Trinity, we pride ourselves on knowing our students well. We assess and appreciate each child’s strengths, challenges, individual interests, and unique gifts. And we equip our teachers with support staff and technology to ensure each child maximizes their greatest potential. Our Lower School Teaching Fellows program pairs a skilled professional with the lead teacher in each homeroom. We further support our lead teachers with a team of education professionals who supplement and enrich our academic programs in literacy and mathematics. Fellows and specialists help us develop and empower teachers, but more importantly, they help us provide an optimal education experience for “Each Child, Each Day.” Our Academic Extensions model provides targeted instruction to help students achieve their unique learning goals. Some students may need to shore up foundational skills or ease their transition into Middle School academic expectations, while others may be reading or computing above grade level and warrant additional enrichment. Extensions groupings are intentionally fluid, and students may move among groups throughout the year.
