Our Mission

We will nurture each child academically, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will honor each child's spirit for learning and life, ever mindful that we are all children of God.

Our Philosophy & Approach

Our academic programs are rigorous, forward thinking and rooted in best practices, but that's just one part of the story. We believe education should be more than academic, and we're committed to nurturing the whole child — including social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth. We assess and understand each child’s strengths and needs, learning style, talents and interests, creating an environment of learning and discovery that is just right for developing well-rounded people who are engaged in their world.

Diverse Community

We believe a diverse and inclusive community is essential to a well-rounded education that promotes intellectual curiosity, academic excellence and moral growth. For our children to be successful and productive citizens in our ever-changing world, they must learn to explore, understand and value others in a safe, nurturing and diverse environment.

Our Story

We opened in August 1999 with 13 pioneer first graders in a converted residence dubbed "The Blue House." Today, Trinity is a PK–8 school with more than 600 students students and more than 100 faculty and staff members. While the numbers and setting have changed dramatically, we remain true to our commitment of "Each Child, Each Day" and the four core values that guided founder Jane Hill.

In our K8 Buddies program, we pair each kindergartner with an eighth grader to enjoy playdates and learning activities throughout the year. This mentorship program helps kindergartners feel more appreciated and connected to the school from the start, and it challenges our oldest students to develop as leaders and role models.

The K–8 Model

The K–8 model offers a great balance. It gives lower schoolers a nurturing learning environment and challenges middle schoolers to grow as leaders and role models. With their strong leadership skills — developed at a relatively young age — our eighth-grade students appeal to a wide variety of high schools.
