TK-Grade 2 Applicants
Trinity utilizes trained professionals to administer The Gesell Institute of Child Development test. The test assists parents and educators in finding the best match between what individual children need and what educators and parents can offer using the Gesell Developmental Assessment system. Assessment should be intentional and potentially have some benefit to the child. For example, assessment results can help:
- Identify what children know
- Identify children’s special needs
- Determine appropriate placement
- Select appropriate curricula to meet children’s individual need
The Gesell Institute of Child Development offers developmentally appropriate, research validated, and kid-reported “fun” screening and assessment resources for educators, parents, pediatricians and other early childhood professionals. These tools help us to understand the ages and stages of child development, and how they relate to the individual learning and development needs of the child.
Grade TK–6 Applicants
A teacher assessment is also used to evaluate the academic aptitude, behavioral skills, and work habits for applicants in grades TK–6. Once a completed application is received, the Admissions Office will contact parents to schedule these assessments.
Grade 3–12 Applicants
Students in grades 3–12 will complete a version of standardized testing, and Trinity School will administer the MAP Growth Assessment to applicants. Trinity will also accept the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE), adn applicants in grades 9–12 may submit the SSAT, PSAT, SAT or ACT, in lieu of the MAP Growth Assessment.
