Q. Are all your teachers Christians?
A. All our teachers are believers, share their testimony and attend church on a weekly basis. These are the same guidelines we have for our families who enroll their children at Trinity.

Q. Does tuition go up every year?
A. Due to increasing costs of utilities, supplies, etc. our tuition increases on an annual basis. We keep these increases to a minimum as we are aware of the sacrifices parents make to provide their children with a quality Christian education.

Q. How do you feel about parental involvement at school?
A. We love having our parents involved at Trinity! Statistics show that children do better if there is a hands-on approach to their education. That’s why we rely on our families to fulfill a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per child (maximum 60 hours) throughout the school year. In order to keep tuition costs down, we rely on our parent volunteer base to do many of the jobs that we would normally pay someone to do.

Q. Can I pay my tuition monthly?
A. Tuition can be paid monthly under our EFT Monthly Payment Plan.  See Payment Options under Tuition for more details.

Q. Do you offer any type of tuition assistance?
A. Through generous donors, there is a certain amount of tuition assistance available to our school families. Forms are available in the school office and online here.
