Where All Families Are Loved
This page has been created to help you navigate your first year at Trinity Christian School. We are so glad you're here.
Welcome
You're Officially Part of the Pride
As a new TCS family, you can expect to experience a school-wide culture of excellence, partnership, and diversity. We are here to support your family by providing your children with a safe environment where they can thrive spiritually and socially.
Connecting with other students and parents, as well as with faculty and staff, is an important aspect of what we call "The Trinity Way." We are a loving community that believes in honoring God through our service toward others.
We know that you and your family have many questions as you prepare for this exciting new experience. There are several programs in place to facilitate your transition, and staff that are here to help along the way. We encourage you to jump right in and seek out ways to connect with our Trinity school community.
TCS is more than a school. We are a family, and we are so glad you're a part of it!
Finding a school that aligns with our family values was very important. It's important that we raise up students that are not just intelligent and smart, but also morally and ethically centered Christ followers. That's really why we have gone this route with Christian education: to have our children around other Christians who are interested in raising their children in the same manner. You can get an education for free anywhere. This is an investment for us in the future of our children.
— Andrew & Heather Watson, TCS Parents
