Program

When we talk about our program, we talk about every aspect of our students’ experience at Trinity. This experience begins in our Early Childhood Program, progresses through Grade 5 and includes matriculation to the best fit middle schools.

Our program is strong in core academic subjects and all speciality classes and is differentiated to meet student needs. Over the coming years, we will continue to strengthen the program further in curricular review, differentiation, pedagogy, enhanced use of assessments, and program enhancements.

Preschool • Strengthen curricular development to emphasize observation, documentation, and ageappropriate teaching and learning practices. • Train and support teachers to ensure they have the skills, backgrounds, experiences and tools required to understand, access and implement emergent curriculum teaching practices. Elementary (Kindergarten to Grade 5) • Continue and further the school’s commitment to differentiated instruction and student engagement through enhanced use of ongoing assessments and teacher training. • Solidify the Service Learning Program with a clear scope and sequence and appointment of a

Service Learning Coordinator. • Establish a review cycle for all curricular areas, starting with Math. • Strengthen curriculum and pedagogy across all disciplines; increase interdisciplinary studies, and expand opportunities for students to demonstrate learning in different ways. • Ensure we are reaching each child so that they are developing academically, physically, socially and emotionally. • Continue to develop the school’s ORFF Music

Program, which focuses on the combined experience of speaking, singing, playing instruments, acting, dancing and other forms of movement to meet the needs of all students. • Expand Trinity’s place-based programs in

Grades 3-5, recognizing the value of experiential learning and students as researchers, particularly in science, humanities, and servicelearning. • Consider adding drama to the school’s program offerings. • Explore the possibility of adding a second language, starting in Grade 3.
