Preliminary Curriculum At Trinity we are seeking to shape and define a curriculum that supports our mission and is fitting for high school students. Such a course of study requires significant class time, carefully balanced with homework. Our classical aims require that we extend the tools of learning acquired in grades K–8 into the critical high school years. The rhetoric stage of Trinity’s education is both the most exciting and the most demanding. Our desire for a rich education means that we won’t be satisfied with offering challenging courses in only English, history, math, and science. This mission also pushes us to plan time for athletics, clubs, performing arts, socialization, homework, and unstructured time. Further, as a Christian school, we will invest time in worldview development and spiritual formation. With these goals in view, fully conscious of the constraints of a daily and weekly schedule, we have attempted to set out a balanced curriculum. Our goal is to provide a curriculum that will fulfill our mission for a variety of college-bound students—the ones who want highly selective colleges as well as the ones who desire less competitive colleges. The more ambitious or gifted students can fulfill these minimum requirements and go on to take advanced courses. Students who find some of the core subjects taxing can complete the minimums and use elective periods in other ways—for study hall, or for more courses in the arts or in a subject they love.
