What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 66 students, Trinitas Classical School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 7.3:1, Trinitas Classical School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Trinitas Classical School operates independently from the local public school district.
