Curriculum

All Trinity Academy students follow a common core curriculum featuring literature, writing, history, mathematics, science, Scripture and Christian doctrine, foreign language, music (theory and performance), art (studio and history), and drama.

The design of the curriculum emphasizes integration of the courses not just within a particular grade level, but across all grade levels. Within the context of a community of learners, students achieve the goals of discovering truth, practicing goodness, and creating beauty by engaging with the content of the curriculum and appropriating the approach to its mastery taught and modeled by the teachers.

Through rigorous study (including the careful reading and discussion of original texts and documents, wherever appropriate) and on-going interaction with their teachers and classmates at Trinity Academy, our students master intellectual skills; achieve literacy in language, mathematics, science, and aesthetics; and develop the personal qualities and social virtues necessary for full participation in the community of learners and society at large.

Trinity Academy stands in the tradition of these successful schools: Trinity Schools (South Bend, IN; Eagan, MN; and Falls Church, VA), Thomas MacLaren School (Colorado Springs, CO), and Tempe Preparatory Academy (Tempe, AZ). Trinity Academy has contracted with the Academy Project, an educational corporation based in Falls Church, Virginia, to provide the curriculum and ongoing faculty training.
