- Lower School (Pre-K6th Grade: Grammar Stage)At Trinitas Classical Academy, our Lower School (Pre-K6th grade) lays a strong foundation for lifelong learning through a Christ-centered, classical education. In the grammar stage, students build essential knowledge and skills, guided by the principle that "the known leads to the unknown" (John Milton Gregory). Pre-K2nd grade (pre-grammar) introduces language and math fundamentals-numbers, counting, basic operations, phonics, spelling, and reading-through engaging methods like singing, chanting, and games. Students begin formal English grammar, learning parts of speech and sentence construction, and start Latin in the 3rd grade. In 3rd6th grade (upper grammar), students deepen these skills, tackling more complex math, longer writing assignments, and thought-provoking discussions to prepare for the logic stage. Our small classes and dedicated teachers foster a supportive, faith-integrated environment, encouraging independent learning and critical thinking while nurturing a love for God's truth.
- Upper School (7th12th Grade: Logic and Rhetoric Stages)The Upper School (7th12th grade) equips students for wisdom and eloquence through the logic (7th9th) and rhetoric (10th12th) stages. In the logic stage, students develop critical thinking, making connections across subjects through debates, skits, and written arguments. They challenge ideas respectfully, growing in their God-given identity while building on the grammar stage's foundation. The rhetoric stage focuses on applying knowledge with wisdom, training students to articulate arguments and analyze assumptions in light of Scripture. The Omnibus (humanities) curriculum, a cornerstone of our program, engages students with great works like Augustine's Confessions, Beowulf, Shakespeare, and The Divine Comedy, fostering deep discussions, oral presentations, and writing. New offerings include 10 honors credits, AP courses, electives, and athletics like cross country, ensuring a college-ready, faith-integrated experience. Our classical integration of disciplines, including logic, rhetoric, STEM, and public speaking, prepares students for higher education and life, distinguishes Trinitas from other schools.

School Reviews

I am a retired teacher from Trinitas Classical Academy (TCA). Having taught TCA's kindergarten for seventeen (17) years, I wholeheartedly recommend and support TCA, its teaching staff, administrators, board members, its curriculums, and its Christian, classical pedagogy. The teacher/student ratios are perfect, the students are respectful, and the parents and grandparents are like extended family.

We couldn't be happier with the education our son is receiving at Trinitas. Not only is it strong academically, the Classical Christian approach ensures that everything is grounded in a Biblical world view with the goal of gaining wisdom - teaching kids how to think and reason well. It is an amazing community of families and we feel so blessed that we found it.

We love this school. The tiny class sizes and family atmosphere are exactly what we were looking for in a Christ-centered education. The classical model develops thinkers, not just followers. And the small class size allows teachers to give the attention needed to each student. It's evident that every teacher there really cares about each student. Most importantly, Christ is the center point from which everything else derives meaning.

We've been at TCA since PreK and have loved every milestone, year, and growth it has brought. As we're now in upper school we can see just how the Lord has worked in our son to gain maturity (but still love joy and life) and growth and to think for himself with discernment. Frankly, I'm a bit jealous I didn't have this education growing up. We love our community at TCA who are now family to us.

Trinitas is a wonderful classical school, an intimate community of like-minded families and staff. We have been here for 4 years and feel that our children are receiving a well-rounded education and have an edge on Biblical knowledge and are enriched by the songs, literature, and what is instilled in their hearts daily.
