Overview
Trinitas Classical Academy delivers a Christ-centered, classical education (Pre-K12), blending academic excellence with faith in a close-knit community.
Our Lower School (Pre-K6th) builds foundational skills in math, language, Latin, and critical thinking through engaging methods like chanting, games, and small-group instruction, nurturing a love for God's truth.
The Upper School (7th12th) emphasizes logic and rhetoric, featuring the Omnibus curriculum (humanities) with works like Augustine's Confessions and Shakespeare, AP courses, electives, and athletics like cross country and trap shooting, ensuring a college-ready, faith-integrated experience. We integrate logic, public speaking, and STEM with classical learning to equip students for purposeful lives.
To support this mission, we're enhancing learning and pursuing the highest standards of classical Christian education, offering a personalized, time-proven approach.
Families covenant together, encouraging one another and sharing Trinitas' story to strengthen our vibrant community. Trinitas blends faith, academics, and personal connection to prepare students for college and a life rooted in God's truth.
Franklin Classical School's curriculum is both college preparatory and missions preparatory; it is both academically accelerated and socially responsive; it is both community oriented and globally minded.
FCS offers a full curriculum for grades K12. Our curriculum allows students to graduate with all necessary state credits, yet the school is still structured so that parents may choose to homeschool select subjects.
We offer an array of student life activities that include athletics, drama and musical productions, and special interest clubs.
FCS has been a member in good standing of the Association of Christian Schools International since 1996 and Association of Classical Christian Schools since 2004.
