The Upper School program is college preparatory and coeducational, serving 79 students, with a total enrollment of 259. Trinity School of Texas is committed to outstanding academic achievement and personal development.

CLASS RANK Because Trinity School of Texas has a selective admissions policy, the high overall achievement of the student body and the consistent and competitive performance of our students, Trinity School of Texas does not rank its students. Rank neither provides a valid measure of performance nor offers a true distinction between members of a highly talented class. We do offer a variety of other data that should assist in the evaluation of performance. COVID STATEMENT On March 13, 2020, we ceased in-person instruction due to COVID-19 restrictions, and we began remote learning on March 23, 2020. Remote learning consisted of synchronous and asynchronous learning utilizing a variety of web-based learning systems and discussion platforms to provide the students with flexibility and individualized learning. Teachers utilized weekly Google Meets with students to continue providing one-on-one advisory instruction. Our school is a 1-to-1 device school where each student has a Chromebook which allowed for the transition to distance learning without a break in instruction. For this reason, it was determined that our students would continue to receive numeric grades for the second semester of the school year. Grades were earned based on student’s performance, and we have full confidence in both the content that was delivered as well as the grades that were earned. For the 2020-2021 school year, we will offer two learning models - in-person instruction and synchronous remote learning.
