Admission Policies
Up one levelTrinity School admits students who can benefit from the values and opportunities offered in our social environment and our academic program. Trinity seeks students who demonstrate a combination of these traits: curiosity, academic potential, creativity, motivation, self-discipline, and empathy. Parental support of the School's mission statement, parental support and guidance for the child, and parental potential to participate in the life of the School are also considerations for admission. Trinity School is committed to maintaining socioeconomic, ethnic, cultural, gender, and religious diversity in its student body. We welcome children of every faith, race, color, and national or ethnic origin. We give preference only to parish members in good standing of Holy Trinity Parish and St. Bede's Church where applicants meet admission standards.
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 socioeconomic, ethnic, cultural, academic, and religious diversity.
Employee children will be admitted with priority provided that the class is not full at the time of admission and that the applicants meet admission standards.
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:
Early Childhood Program for Threes: Children are three by December 1st and are continent at the beginning of the school year. The three-year old year is the point of admission for the ECP through Grade 5.
Early Childhood Program for Junior Kindergarten: Children are five by December 31 of the junior kindergarten year
Kindergarten: Children are age five by September 1st.
Admissions decisions are made at the discretion of the Head of School. Admission and retention is based upon 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 to learning potential. Students deemed appropriate for the next grade will be invited to re-enroll from year to year.
