School Notes

  • School Mascot: Eagles
  • 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.
