Celebrating 25 Years!
Trinity has changed a lot since we started in 1999, but the common thread has been fostering a love of learning and love for one's community.
A Beautiful and Safe Campus
Our 24-acre campus is private, and secure, and easily accessible from anywhere in the city.
Partnering with Parents
We are your partners! We are here to help you provide your child with the education and encouragement they need to thrive, keeping you informed at every step along the way.
More Than a School — a Community!
Again and again, parents say they chose Trinity because it's a community, where close friendships are forged and memories are made.
Christian Foundation
As an Episcopal school, we are rooted in faith and welcoming of all religions and creeds.
Lower School (Grades K–4)
The right balance of rigor and play with research-backed best practices and dedicated, caring faculty.
Middle School (Grades 5–8)
Our faculty truly know each student and give them the tools and encouragement they need to thrive during adolescence.
Preschool (Ages 2–5)
Research-based preschool program with full-day coverage and highly experienced teachers.
Each Child, Each Day.
Trinity Episcopal School of Austin is an independent, nonprofit, PK-8, co-ed, day school in southwest Austin, Texas. Trinity delivers a student-centered, evidence-based curriculum in a highly supportive and challenging environment. Teachers, coaches, and a team of support staff work together to meet students where they are and partner with parents to build a comprehensive, holistic, and data-driven plan for each child's growth.
Independent
We are not funded by any governement or diocese, which allows us to control our curriculum independently. We adhere to the accreditation requirements for the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest and the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools.
Nonprofit
We invest every dollar back into our programs, people, and spaces. In fact, tuition alone does not cover the cost of exceptional Trinity education. We depend on philanthropy to close the tuition gap and to support families that rely on financial assistance.
Grades PK–8
We believe the PK–8 model offers the best balance for young children and adolescents. It gives lower schoolers a nurturing learning environment and challenges middle schoolers to grow as leaders and role models.
Forward-Thinking
We think of ourselves as ahead of the curve, but not experimental. Our curricula are based on the latest research and proven best practices to optimize learning and development for young children and adolescents.
Episcopal
As an Episcopal school, we are a Christian organization that welcomes and seeks to understand people of all faiths and backgrounds. Examples include daily Chapel, recognizing both Christian and non-Christian holidays, and service learning.
Where Kids Can Question, Lead, Love, and Thrive
What is Trinity all about? It really boils down to fostering a love of learning and love for one's community. We want our students to be curious, confident leaders who are equipped and inspired to find their voice and make it heard.
Mission
We will nurture each child academically, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. We will honor each child's spirit for learning and life, ever mindful that we are all children of God.

2+
Hours of Differentiation
We meet students where they are with differentiated instruction during normal class time as well as at least two additional hours a week.
Three Divisions, One Mission
Trinity's PK-8 model strikes a great balance! It provides younger students with a nurturing environment while also challenging older kids to step up as leaders and role models. This eases social pressures and bolsters empathy, friendship, leadership, and a sense of belonging.
Blue House Preschool
Ages 2–5
Our Preschool division is an integral part of the Trinity community! However, the admission process is separate due to substantial changes in development for all young children. Applications are open from October 1 through November 30.
Lower School
Grades K–4
Trinity teachers truly know each of their students, and maintain those relationships as students get older. This gives kids a sense of belonging and improves faculty-to-faculty collaboration across grade-levels. Our best entry point is kindergarten, and applications are open from October 1 through January 31.
Middle School
Grades 5–8
With dozens of electives, clubs, and sports, Middle School students have lots of opportunities to explore different interests and find their voice. Our best entry point is 6th grade, and applications are open from October 1 through January 31.
A beautiful and safe place to learn.
Located five miles from downtown Austin in a quiet alcove of West Lake Hills, our 24-acre campus is private and secure. And thanks to our proximity to MoPac Expressway and 360 Loop, we're easily accessible from anywhere in the city.
