Trinity Christian School offersa rigorous college-preparatory curriculum. Since approximately 95% of Trinity graduates attend four-year colleges upon graduation, emphasis is placed not only on teaching content, but also on developing lifelong learners who are adept at reading, writing, and critical reasoning. Senior Capstone Thesis: The Trinity curriculum culminates in a 15-20 page comprehensive worldview thesis. In the spring, seniors orally defend their theses before a formal panel of faculty and administrators. Educational Internship: Juniors and seniors who have an interest in teaching or have demonstrated excellence in a particular subject are partnered with teachers in Lower or Upper School, assisting in the classroom and ultimately preparing and presenting limited lessons.
