Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill

Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill

Trinity School of Durham and Chapel Hill is a private, Christian school in Durham, North Carolina in the United States.

It was formed in 1995 by a group of local Christians and parents from several churches in the Durham-Chapel Hill area, who wanted a Christian school according with their shared ethos. The school's motto is ""Non nobis, Domine, sed nomini tuo da gloriam", meaning " Not to us, O Lord, but to Your name give glory".

History

The school opened its doors in the autumn of 1995 with thirty-nine students in the grades of Kindergarten through 4th grade (K-4), using the facilities of Hope Creek Church in Durham. In August 1996, Chip Denton became the founding Headmaster. In 1996, the school grew to over 70 students in grades 1-5, to 90 students in 1997, and to just under 100 students in grades 1-6 in 1998.

In 1998 the school acquired thirty-seven acres of land on Pickett Rd., including a fifteen-acre nature reserve along Hope Creek. In the fifth year the school held classes for grades 5-7 at the new property in modular classrooms, while grades K-4 continued to meet at Hope Creek Church on Erwin Rd.

In the summer of 2000, the school broke ground on its first permanent facility. The site provides a 28,000 square foot classroom building and gymnasium, with a new total of nearly 160 students in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade (K-8). By 2001, the K-8 student body had grown to 240 and in 2002, to 273. In the autumn of 2003, Trinity added a Transitional Kindergarten class. The school’s total enrollment is now over 300.

In 2003, the school built its second permanent facility, at the intersection of Pickett Road and Cambridge Road in Durham. It will be home to seventh grade, eighth grade, and the high school students, with the first facility remaining in use for Kindergarten through sixth grade. A brand-new gymnasium is also expected to be completed by August, 2007 and will be the site of plays, assemblies, and sports events.

In the upcoming school year, 2007-2008, Trinity plans to add a ninth and tenth grade.
