A Trinity education is a gift that lasts a lifetime! These three TCS alumni who graduated together in 2019 just graduated early from William & Mary together! Addy graduated with a BA in English with a Dance minor, Conor earned a BS with a double major in Computer Science and Philosophy, and Sebastian earned a BS in CAMS (Computational Applied Mathematics and Statistics). Addy's mother commented, "I am so grateful for the strong foundation of both faith and academics they received at TCS. I still give thanks every day for our TCS family." There's nothing we love to see more than our alumni flourishing!💙

Merry Christmas from Trinity Christian School!
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!" We are thankful for a school that is constantly full of song, especially leading up to the holiday season! Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!
In this annual Trinity Christmas tradition, Upper School students in the National Art Honors Society surprise Lower School classes by decorating their classroom doors. This year, their theme was "Christmas Around the World," and they did not disappoint! 🤩👏
To celebrate the last day of school before Christmas break, students and faculty alike dressed up in their wackiest, tackiest, (in some cases, classiest) Christmas apparel! We pray that everyone has a restful, peaceful, and very merry holiday!

One student said that her favorite part of camp was bonding with her friends and meeting new people from other schools. She also said that the camp had a spiritual impact on her.

We're always happy to see our students having fun and seeking the Lord inside and outside the walls of Trinity!

Shaking the hands of heroes…
Today we held a special Veterans Day Chapel which included performances by both our Color Guard and Honors Choral Ensemble. Before the end of Chapel, Mr. P. invited any Veterans in the audience (whether honored guests or faculty), to stand with him as students made their way through the line shake their hands and thank them for their service.
A Veteran even made a special visit to our Kindergarten students to teach them about what it means to be a soldier and a Veteran.
If you haven’t yet, be sure to thank a veteran today.
