WHO WE ARE In 1981 Trinity School opened its first campus, Trinity School at Greenlawn in South Bend, IN. Two schools followed. Trinity School at River Ridge in Eagan, MN opened in 1987 and Trinity School at Meadow View in Falls Church, VA held its first classes in the fall of 1998. From the beginning, it was clear that Trinity would provide not only a different kind of education, but also a different understanding of what it means to be educated. Early on, the founders realized that it would not be enough to simply take the existing template for education and try to improve upon it. In order to create a genuinely different education, they knew they would have to start from a different foundation. The answers to these questions became the Trinity School curriculum. The mathematics and sciences that have shaped our world, the history and political theory that have brought us to where we are now, and great works of philosophy and literature—we believe all students should encounter these things. And the way we chose to educate is as important as the curriculum. We believe that education ought to be about awakening, awakening minds and souls to the pursuit of truth, the creation of beauty and the practice of goodness. In fact, we believe that genuine learning only happens when we encounter reality in this way. In the years since our founding, we have become a national leader in education. Trinity schools have been awarded an astonishing ten blue ribbon awards for excellence from the United States Department of Education. We are widely recognized as early pioneers of what would come to be known as the classical education movement. And our curriculum and philosophy of education have served as the explicit model for dozens of private and charter schools in the United States. We are honored by this legacy and continue to measure our own success by the kind of young men and women our graduates become. At Trinity School, students become articulate, educated, and inquisitive agents of their own learning. They are well-rounded, dynamic young men and women who we are proud to go out into the world as Trinity graduates. So instead of merely asking how to “do school” better, the founders of the school began instead with the desired outcome and asked, “What should educated adults in our time really know? What intellectual skills should they possess to deal with the world in which they find themselves? What topics and texts should they have wrestled with?” 6 Trinity Schools 2018 / 2019
