School Reviews

Trinity is the best-kept secret! Located off I-95 and Rt 152 Mountain Rd in Joppa, the large campus is beautiful. Our fourth-grade son (age 10) and second-grade daughter (age 8) wake up excited to go to Trinity. Their exceptional teachers love to teach and so our children love to learn. We love that the school is safe, the curriculum is challenging, and the caring staff is dedicated to ensuring our kids achieve their greatest potential. Class sizes are small and the Chapel every Wednesday always lifts spirits, unifies the school, and renews our faith and hope for the future! The right fit for our family!

We've been at the ELC and school for the past 5 years. There have been a lot of changes over the years, and I feel that they've been for the best. My child loves the school and the teachers. We love the caring environment and look forward to many more years of attending.

My son is in the ELC and we love it. He is excited to come to school every day and he has the most wonderful teachers! He is learning a lot, even at age 4, but the teachers make it fun and engaging. I love the Christian aspect as well. I feel that my son is beginning a well-rounded education that you just can't get in the public schools - not just academics but good character as well.

My son has been here since pre-k and now finishing up 1st grade. I have all the intentions of keeping him here through 8th grade. I absolutely love this school. Compared to public school it is like night a day. You just can't compare the quality.
