School Notes
Founded in 1995 as Trinity Collegiate School, now known as
Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School.
Mission: To operate exclusively as a college preparatory
school of academic excellence for grades 6-12, preparing our
students intellectually, physically, socially, and spiritually to
be well-rounded citizens able to lead productive lives in a global
society.
Faculty: Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School has 31 faculty
members, of whom 45% hold advanced degrees. The student teacher
ratio is 8:1.
The Curriculum and Graduation Requirements: The curriculum at
Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School is a demanding academic program
designed to prepare our students for university acceptance. Because
of Trinity-Byrnes` rigorous academic focus, when evaluating a TBCS
transcript, it is important to take into account the challenging
nature of all coursework offered at TBCS. Standard level courses
(CP), as well as those designated Honors or AP, are demanding in
quality, content, and design. Enrollment in standard level
coursework does not signal a lack of academic rigor or
challenge.
Technology and Facilities: The 5 main buildings include 27
total classrooms/learning spaces which include a performing arts
stage, dance studio, music room, 2 art studios, 2 science labs, 1
digital media center, and a fitness room.
Activities: We offer a broad range of opportunities in
girls and boys athletics, and field a total of 16 teams at Varsity
and JV level across Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. TBCS
students have the opportunity to be involved in over 20 clubs and
organizations. Students are also offered many opportunities to
travel locally, regionally, and abroad during their time at
Trinity. In addition to academic credits, students are
expected to participate in school or community service, either
individually or through membership in school-sponsored clubs or
organizations.
With so much uncertainty in the world today and a pandemic further confounding our lives, it's reasonable for parents to want to protect their children whenever and wherever possible? But overprotecting or bubble-wrapping? Well, that's another matter.
The average private school tuition in South Carolina is $7,104 for elementary schools and $7,249 for high schools (read more about average private school tuition across the country).
