Admissions Policy
Trinity admits students on the promise of success while here, as well as on proven scholastic ability. Applicants have the greatest chance of acceptance who demonstrate a strong work ethic, a potential for growth, a positive, constructive attitude and a belief in the Christian community.
Trinity serves the child whose ability is average or above average and who is able to adapt to classroom routines. Teacher student ratios are kept low to provide each child with the opportunity to develop fully to his or her own potential.
Admissions Process
The process of applying to a school can be overwhelming. There are many steps to complete, various forms to fill out, and information to gather. In the end, we hope it's worth all the hard work, as you find your child in an academic environment that fits and will best help him achieve success. We encourage personal connections through the admission process. We welcome you to contact us directly and look forward to getting to know you and your child better.
The basic application information can be accessed at our website (K3-K5 or 1st-8th Grade) . When you have decided that Trinity is your school of choice, we ask that the Enrollment Application be completed and returned with a non-refundable $100 application fee. Each child is also assessed for classroom readiness (fees will apply). The Admissions Office will be happy to assist you with scheduling. Letters of Recommendation and transcripts are also required.
After review of all applications and assessments, admission will be granted to your child providing space is available and according to a priority system:
1. qualified siblings of students currently attending Trinity Episcopal School and qualified children of an Episcopal Church
2. qualified siblings or children of former Trinity students
3. other qualified candidates
This application review process typically takes several weeks and you will be contacted by mail regarding the final decision. Please feel free to contact the Admissions Office if you have any questions.
