For four decades, Trinity Christian School has had the mission of helping children reach their full potential.
Having a classical Christian approach to education, Trinity is not only a school which teaches the basics well, it also is very affordable. What recipe makes Trinity students so successful?
Tried and True Classical Approach
Trinity is a classical grammar school, which means they teach the fundamental rules of each subject, as well as the basic data that exhibit those rules. With a proper grammar foundation, students are set up for success to think critically in the following stages of learning. At Trinity, students learn how to learn.
Strong Phonics Program
Students are exposed to a strong phonics foundation. Children are taught how to read and write using a rigorous phonics program, ultimately, fostering a love for great literature. By grade two, most children excitedly delve into chapter books, embarking on many adventures in reading.
Math Drill
When students properly learn their math facts, they are able to soar in future mathematical endeavors. Imagine trying to learn scientific thought processes without a solid arithmetic foundation. It is impossible to solve equations or think scientifically without a solid grasp on basic arithmetic. At Trinity Christian School, students learn their arithmetic through lively daily drills, and practice where students are able to work at their own pace.
Science Exploration
Starting in kindergarten, scientific thinking is experienced. Through every school discipline, children use scientific skills, such as observing, classifying, sorting, summarizing and accurately articulating. Moreover, Trinity students participate in science class, regularly getting their hands dirty with their science experiments. Many graduates of Trinity have gone on to medicine and other fields of science.
History Taught
Through Bible, American and world history, students gain a broad concept of history. The lunchroom boasts a world history timeline with a collection of student contributions they have discovered in their studies. Even kindergarten and first grade students make contributions to the world history timeline. Older students are able to study ancient civilizations in depth, grasping not only the history, but also the geography.
Small Class Sizes
Research has shown children learn best when student-to-teacher ratios are low. Students receive much care and attention and benefit from low class sizes. Because the ratios are low, teachers are able to make sure students understand concepts before moving on to new material.
Love of the Arts and Languages
Each year, student artwork is submitted to the Arizona State Fair, with Trinity students regularly bringing home prized ribbons. Moreover, a love of music is fostered through choir, music instruction, bells and chimes. The Bell Choir performs at several school functions during the year. Students learn to love language through Spanish instruction in grades kindergarten through second grade, while grades three through six endeavor to learn and use Latin.
Looking Up
Through daily chapel service and direct moral instruction, children at Trinity are taught to look to God. As a result, children are orderly, hopeful and thoughtful. In this structure, a child progresses in the attributes of personality, which indicate his destiny—self-confidence, initiative and self-discipline, as well as the ability to solve his own problems.
Above are only a few of the reasons why so many parents choose Trinity Christian School for their children.
