Admission Policies

Trinity students

Trinity School recognizes the interconnectedness of all people and contributions of all individuals, including those of different ability, age, culture, ethnicity, family structure, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socio-economic background.

Trinity School admits:

  • Students who can benefit from and contribute to the values and opportunities offered in our social environment and our academic program
  • Students who demonstrate a combination of these traits: curiosity, academic potential, creativity, motivation, self-discipline, and empathy.
  • Families who support the School's mission statement, providing parental support and guidance for the child, as well as the potential to participate in the life of the School

Where applicants meet admission standards, Trinity School gives preference to siblings, personnel children, and parish members in good standing of Holy Trinity Parish and St. Bede's Church.

The early childhood and elementary programs strive to create balanced classes. In doing so, admissions considerations may include academic potential, gender balance, serving the needs of the parishes or community, sibling relationships, or promoting the School's commitment to diversity.

Current students are those who are enrolled from the beginning of the academic year. Having a current elementary student enrolled at Trinity is the basis for sibling priority.

Age criteria are considerations for placement of children in the following programs:

  • ECP 3: Children are three years old by December 1 and are continent at the beginning of the school year.
  • ECP Junior Kindergarten: Children are five years old by December 31.
  • Kindergarten: Children are five years old by September 1st.

ECP 3 and ECP Junior Kindergarten are the entry points for admission through Grade 5.

Admissions decisions are made at the discretion of the Head of School. Admission and retention is dependent on parental support of the School's mission and full disclosure by the parent/guardian of any and all medical or learning conditions affecting the child's health, behavior, and/or learning potential. Students deemed appropriate for the next grade will be invited to re-enroll from year to year.
