PARTNER WITH TRINITY ACADEMY
At Trinity Academy, we seek to glorify God through Christcentered classical education. Knowing Christ as the One in whom “all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17) emboldens us to investigate history, literature, philosophy, science, theology and mathematics as potential expressions of worship that are as varied as they are unified We joyfully pursue our mission to equip students to live with wisdom, excellence and purpose in the modern world by offering an education grounded in the Christian faith and the classical tradition. Trinity Academy is a training ground where future researchers, government officials and business leaders are learning to integrate their thoughtful Christian worldview with their aspirations. Our community is unified as we pepare young people to be lifelong learners who can evaluate life with precision, because they live with conviction. In partnership with parents, students, faculty and churches, we will deliver the very best education possible: a classical, Christ-centered education that highlights the true, the good and the beautiful.
At The Montessori School of Raleigh, we believe every child is born ready to explore, experience, learn and understand the world around them.
That’s why The Montessori School of Raleigh honors and cultivates each student’s innate capacity and inclination to learn. With an exceptional academic curriculum that follows Montessori philosophy and pedagogy, students ages 15 months through 12th grade are encouraged to be curious, think critically and discover their unique interests and talents. With a three-year learning cycle and student-centered, multi-age classrooms, students work independently at their own pace, developing foundational skills and exploring topics of individual interest, while guided by expert teachers who know them well.
Every learning environment at The Montessori School of Raleigh— both on the 10-acre Lead Mine campus in Raleigh (for early learning through elementary years) and the 40-acre Brier Creek campus in Durham County (for middle and upper school years)—is designed to provide experiential and real-life learning opportunities that challenge students intellectually, deepen their understanding and encourage independent thinking. A focus on leadership, outdoor education, peace education and a global perspective further enriches student learning and rounds out the Montessori experience. Learn more about The Montessori School of Raleigh’s approach to teaching and learning, and how it prepares students for fulfilling lives as engaged, successful world citizens, at msr.org.

EXPLORE SAINT MARY’S SCHOOL
Never before has there been a moment when women’s education has been so important. We need to hear women’s voices as leaders, scientists, engineers, advocates, politicians … the list goes on. At Saint Mary’s School, we elevate girls’ voices, focus on their strengths and create a transformational experience for them tailored to how they learn. Research shows that in all-girl learning environments, young women are free to discover and use their voices, speak without interruption, and feel empowered to become bold leaders.
Self-confidence is built though the occupation of leadership roles at all levels. In our all-girls learning environment, we create a culture of achievement where no stereotypes about how girls excel, or what they like, exist. We also champion girls’ educational needs as a group currently underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) majors and careers.
Since 1842, Saint Mary’s School has inspired girls to step outside their comfort zones, engage their minds, amplify their voices, and discover who they are and who they want to become. Our students graduate with stronger academic skills, demonstrate higher self-confidence in science, display higher levels of cultural competency, express stronger community involvement and exhibit increased political engagement. Explore Saint Mary’s School for your daughter today.
