Trinity Schools

Trinity Schools are Christian schools in the United States providing a classical education to students in grades 7-12. They were founded by the People of Praise and are independent schools owned and operated by Trinity Schools, Inc. Kerry Koller serves as President of all the schools, and also serves as the headmaster at Greenlawn.

Locations

Trinity Schools are currently located in three places:

*Greenlawn, in South Bend, Indiana.
*Meadow View, in Falls Church, Virginia.
*River Ridge, in Eagan, Minnesota.

Curriculum

Students are taught a classical education. They are taught the Latin Language for the first four years, and for their junior and senior years, have the choice of either Spanish, French, German, or New Testament Greek. They are taught rigorous math and science courses for all six years. Students take Drama in their junior and senior years, and perform for the school. Students are taught music theory via recorder and keyboard in 7th grade, then in 8th grade participate in a recorder ensemble. In 9th and 10th, Music is choral singing, culminating in public concerts. They study Scripture for four years, and study the doctrine of their own denomination for one year. In high school, they take a daily class for two hours called Humane Letters. In Humane Letters, students study history, literature, philosophy and poetry.

Uniform

Students are required to wear a uniform to school daily. The uniforms are conservative in nature. School policy concerning dress and appearance covers clothing--including shirt and pants, socks, shoes and belts--and physical appearance for both men and women, which includes hairstyle and jewelry. Trinity teachers and staff treat violations of the uniform policy as they do any other violation of the school rules.
