About Trinity Academy

Our Mission

Trinity Academy exists to partner with families in raising children who love God, love their neighbor, and love learning, through a classical, Christ-centered education.

(Demo content: fictitious, for illustration only.)

Our Vision

We picture graduates who think clearly, speak graciously and serve faithfully: young men and women equipped to pursue truth, goodness and beauty wherever God calls them, in Industry and far beyond.

(Demo content: fictitious, for illustration only.)

Statement of Faith

We hold to the historic Christian faith as summarized in the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.

  • The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God.
  • There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  • Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, who died and rose again.

Our Model: Classical, Christian, Hybrid

Classical

Students move through the stages of learning, from mastering facts in the early grades, to reasoning in the middle years, to persuasive expression in high school.

Christian

Every subject is taught as part of God's world, and the school day begins and ends in prayer.

Hybrid

Students are on campus Monday through Thursday with our teachers. Friday is a home day: parents guide the at-home work using each teacher's weekly plan, published on the portal.
