School Notes

  • Since 1953, Trinity Christian School has been making high-quality Christian education come alive for our students. We recognize and teach that God is in control of all things and that we need to be good stewards of all He has given us. Based on the Reformed tradition, we acknowledge the Scriptures as the infallible, inerrant and inspired Word of God. We integrate the Bible, its teachings and biblical history into all our subject matter. At Trinity, we emphasize that all children are unique individuals with their own special talents and interests. We use well-established instructional techniques with a Christ-centered, values-oriented curriculum, helping each child to thrive academically and physically, mature emotionally, and grow in Godly qualities.
