At the Primary School, what interests our children interests us.

The word Primary means “main, crucial, major, paramount,” all words we believe represent these vital years of a child’s journey of academic and emotional growth. We are continuously exploring new research-based programs, practices, and 21st Century education. 

Our children are exposed to a comprehensive academic program that honors their natural curiosity and sense of wonder. Skills and strategies needed to move through progressively abstract and demanding areas of study are acquired, and with the guidance of caring and experienced teachers our students become independent and responsible thinkers and learners.

Holy Trinity’s Primary School academic program:

• Upholds our commitment to educate the whole child – academically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

• Encourages our young students to engage learning with confidence and curiosity while embracing the values of kindness and empathy.

• Introduces leaders to activities across the curriculum including hands-on, concrete experiences that complement a child’s natural inquisitiveness.

• Develops foundational skills for reading, writing and reasoning while exposing students to a rich program that integrates Technology, Science, Spanish, Visual Arts, Music, Sacred Studies, Physical Education, Library Science, and Service to the Community.

• Emphasizes personal responsibility, decision-making and the ability to apply learning.

“Every child is encouraged to find his or her personal gifts and talents. We cultivate enthusiasm for learning and develop empathetic hearts within an exciting, supportive and warm environment.”

-Dr. Charity Vinson
Head of Primary School

Because every child’s potential to realize their Best You is our chief concern, we offer students:

• Resource teachers who provide extra support to students needing additional practice when working with specific language arts and/or math activities. Confidence grows and skills are built and reinforced in a small group setting.

• Age-appropriate projects and lessons introduce students to the aesthetics of the visual arts.

• A vast music program that allows students to develop sing skills, play musical instruments, and expand their understanding of style, rhythm, and harmony and learn the basics of musical notation.

• The invaluable qualities associated with the pursuit of a common goal and camaraderie in the Outdoor Education Program. On nature walks and overnight camping trips, students develop environmental awareness, confidence and problem solving skills.
