Class Coffees
Twice a year parents in each class gather with the Head of School, the Academic Dean, the Teacher and other administrators to discuss topics pertinent to the development of children in that class.
Like Minds
Parents at Trinity School value the education of mind and heart. Parents on the same journey of raising and educating their children form long-lasting friendships at Trinity School, where they learn and experience their children's formation during preschool and elementary years.
