Trinity Classical Academy values diversity and admits qualified students of any race, color, gender, national or ethnic origin and accords or makes available all the rights, privileges, policies, and activities made available to any students at the school.
Admission to Trinity Classical Academy is dependent upon sufficient promise of academic success and parent-student agreement with and subscription to the school’s philosophy and policies. Trinity Classical Academy maintains high standards and expectations; therefore, re-enrollment in succeeding years is based on student achievement and parental support.
Prospective families schedule a tour to review the program and determine candidacy of the student. Tours are Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9:00 and 11:00 by appointment only. Students wishing to enroll in Grades 3-8 must schedule a shadow day after the initial tour.
You will be invited to apply for admissions once your tour and student shadow date, if applicable, is complete. We do not accept applications for admission unless a spot is available for your child. There is a $50.00 application fee for all new students.
Previous report cards, school records, and recent standardized test results from the child’s previous school are reviewed. Upon records review, student testing is scheduled if needed.
Registration is incomplete and a spot is not held until the enrollment fee and all forms are submitted. You will need to scan and upload your child’s birth certificate and immunization records to the application on Gradelink.
