I sent my daughter to Trinity preschool fully expecting to shift to public school for kindergarten, but she immediately felt like she was at home and the teachers poured so much into her that we decided to stay. It`s worth every penny. I now have both my girls at Trinity, one in kindergarten and one in second grade, and they absolutely adore their teachers, love going to school, and come home talking and singing about Jesus. As a parent, I love the small class sizes and close-knit community of each grade. I can`t wait to see what the future holds!

We have been at Trinity Lutheran for 5 years. My daughter graduated 8th grade a few years ago. Her high school teachers who so impressed with her respect for adults, her dedication and work ethic plus how far she was ahead of the public school students. As a Freshman she went directly into honors classes and will graduate high school this year with almost a full year of college credits.
