"I feel like Trinity has helped me a lot because they always know where to place me. Like in Extensions, you’re getting instruction on your level. They give you extra help or maybe stretch you in subjects where you're doing really well."

"The teachers here are great. They teach very well and support you and want you to succeed. They make that really clear and that’s nice to see. I have never been to a school like Trinity where every single teacher has known and cared for me. My favorite teacher has been my history teacher, Ms. Cavazos. She pushed me to my absolute limit and respected my ideas."

"When I made the switch from Trinity to high school, it was a really good exercise. By the time I was ready to decide where I wanted to go to college, I already thought about where I saw myself and where I fit in the world, and so it was kind of an easy decision for me."

"I never thought I would be one of those people who would be standing on a stage singing in the musicals, and I found that in myself. That helped me with public speaking and with learning how to navigate the world better. All the teachers and coaches take the time to foster whatever you’re interested in. It was so good for my confidence and my growth. I went into high school ready to stand up for myself, and I felt confident that I could try new things."

"When you get to high school where the grades matter more for your future and college, that's when it became really easy for me. I think Trinity paved the way for me and showed me the right path — especially in math."

"I think there's the right amount of challenge. I don't think any more is beneficial for students because then it just creates stress but you're not actually making that student smarter or better able to handle a workload. You're just adding anxiety around school, which will backfire."

"I used to be a teacher, and Trinity is everything I would hope for and want from a school. It felt like home from the moment we stepped on the campus. Our son genuinely, absolutely adores this school. It's the first time we have felt that he is safe no matter where he is on this campus. But not just safe — loved."

"It's a place truly engaged with the whole child. There's depth to the learning; there's seamlessness to the learning. They’re prompting students to look beyond the classroom in a way that I don't see at other schools."

"There’s an electricity on the campus between the teachers, the students, and the families that is completely captivating."

"Trinity is a fabulous school with a warmth and inclusiveness unmatched by any other school environment in Austin! We don't know how the teachers and staff do it all and make it look so seamless and easy, but we are so grateful to know our kids are getting the best possible education socially, emotionally, and academically.”

"I remember the day that I interviewed to work here, going home and saying ‘I don’t know if I got that job, but I do know that’s where I want my child to go to school.’ I've taught in a lot of places, both public and private, and the degree to which the faculty and staff know the children here is something I’ve never seen before at any of my other jobs."

"I’ve been teaching for over 20 years and have taught at other schools. Trinity has been the best in terms of being supported and helping me teach the best that I can. In kindergarten and first grade, the kids are learning how to learn. There’s this bubble of energy, and you can’t help but be harnessed by that. I feel blessed to be a part of it."

"Trinity carves out a lot of money for professional development, which enables me to make connections, find resources, and implement ideas that don’t exist on campus yet, so we can get better together as a community. There's a culture here that is constantly learning and challenging, and our classrooms keep moving further and further away from the teacher lecturing to the students leading."

"It’s just so much fun! There’s so much joy and so much excitement. Kindergarten is the first time they get to come to school, and I get to be a part of that, and it makes me feel very lucky.”

"I started as a staff member for Horizons AustinTrinity, Trinity's summer program that serves students at high-risk of not finishing high school. All of the teachers I met kept talking about how great a place this was and how I should join full-time. Later, I had a chance to see glimpses of the excellent school culture, and I wanted to be a part of it.”
