Trinity Christian School of Fairfax

We finished our week of Faculty/Staff In-Service with our annual Day of Prayer. Students from Trinity's Worship Team even came to lead us in song. We wholeheartedly believe that the best preparation for a new school year starts with calling out to the Lord, asking for his blessings, resting in his grace, and trusting in his promises.

Today was the first day of our week-long Faculty/Staff In-Service before school starts next week! What a joy to see so many familiar (and some new) faces on campus!

The summer is coming to an end here at TCS, and while our teachers have enjoyed their break, they can't wait to have their classrooms filled with students again! 💙

A new episode of "Mind and Heart" just dropped, and this one's a doozy! Meet our new Head of School, Dr. Matt Thomas! Listen in on our exclusive sit-down interview as we ask him everything you want to know, from questions about his new role to his love story with his wife (spoiler alert: it's adorable)!

Today was Dr. Matt Thomas' official FIRST DAY as Trinity's new Head of School! Please join us in wishing him a warm welcome as we look forward to all the good things to come under his leadership. Welcome home, Dr. Thomas!

Today was our LAST LUNCH with Dr. Vanderpoel! His goodbye to staff on campus was bittersweet as he looks ahead to more time with his children and grandchildren in Colorado. We love you, Dr. Vanderpoel. Thank you for everything. ❤️

Summer is still in full force at TCS, and we are taking every opportunity to get our bodies moving! From soccer to field hockey to karate-- we have it all! Which of these camps sounds the most fun to you?

to the Grade 5 Olympics! Fifth-grade students compete in these games at the end of each year, representing different countries. In the process, they enjoy exercise and recreation, some friendly competition amongst classmates, and learn about each country they represent. We can't think of a better way to end the year!

It may be summer break, but our brains are hard at work in Summer at TCS! Our busy campers have been strategizing in chess, reading music in strings, coding in Minecraft, and even building actual robots! How have you been challenging yourself this summer?

We ended the week with a bang! The Lower School Cheer Camp performed for an audience of friends, family, and other campers today, showcasing jumps, cheers, and stunts! Way to go, little Gryphons! 💙🤍📣

Shoutout to our amazing parent volunteers, Mrs. Iskander and Mrs. Reyes for managing our Uniform Exchange! Don't miss Trinity Night at the FlynnO'Hara store in Fairfax this Thursday from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. The store will be open for Trinity families ONLY!📣

Wishing you and yours all the best this Independence Day!🇺🇸

This spring, Dr. Vanderpoel made a guest appearance in Lower School Chapel, thoroughly delighting our littlest Gryphons with his message on the Armor of God... using vegetables! There's no sweeter sound than a gym full of giggles! We will miss seeing Dr. Vanderpoel's sweet interactions with our Lower School students!

Today was Dr. Vanderpoel's LAST last day of school. To celebrate, students and faculty lined the arc during carpool with larger-than-life pictures of his face! Thank you, Dr. Vanderpoel, for 18 years of Christlike leadership!

Last week, each of our Lower School classes enjoyed a "Field Day"! They had a blast and learned about healthy sportsmanship, competing in events like capture the chicken, dodgeball, tug of war, and so much more! We're not sure who had the most fun: the students, the parent volunteers, or Mr. Phillips! 😂

Congratulations to the Girls Varsity Soccer team for its victory in the VISAA DI State Championship for the second year in a row! Keep up the great work, Gryphons! Thanks to Trinity parent, Bo Elam, for the amazing photos!

Yesterday, our seniors completed their "last walk" in their caps and gowns to close out their time at Trinity. As they made their way around the arc, they were cheered on by the teachers who know and love them and the Lower School students who look up to them. We will miss these gifted young men and women as they leave Trinity for the bright futures and wonderful works ahead!

There's just nothing like Trinity in the springtime! Every year when the weather gets warm, sixth-grade students plant and tend to a vegetable garden on campus, learning about both science and stewardship!

Last week, our Kindergarten classes celebrated "Yes Day," a day in which teachers say "yes" to at least one request from their students. In this case, bubbles! What would you ask for?
