Head of School Welcome
Welcome to the fastest growing classical, Christian school in the country. My husband, Wally, and I founded Trinity Classical Academy in 2001, with the help of a committed and passionate group of parents and educators.
What is it that makes Trinity different and distinctive from other educational options?
A Christian worldview is taught throughout all our subject areas. We strive for an integration of faith and learning where God is revealed not only in theology and Bible classes, but also in math, science, history, literature and all scholastic disciplines.
The classical tradition of teaching at Trinity makes us distinct as well. It is a time-honored method of teaching that has been a staple in Western culture and the Church since the second century. Students see God’s ‘big picture’ by studying history, philosophy, literature, art, theology, math and science as well as logic and rhetoric.
Our outstanding, dedicated faculty is comprised of passionate, devoted, Christian teachers who truly love teaching and who understand the goals of classical, Christian education. They come to us with numerous advanced degrees, a wealth of experience and are some of the most accomplished academics in Santa Clarita education. In addition to our core subjects, we have dedicated faculty who teach art, music, physical education and Latin as well as teachers for drama, yearbook, computer programming, student leadership and more.
Trinity offers a wealth of enrichment opportunities in addition to the classroom experience to nurture the mind, body and soul. We have an orchestra, band, drumline, choir, bell choir, chimes, drama teams, photography, as well as a chess team, robotics, various clubs and cheerleading squads at all levels. Our elementary and junior high sports teams compete in various local leagues which include flag football, basketball, cross country, volleyball, soccer, baseball and softball. Our high school sports program has become a member of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and we are thrilled to field 15 high school sports teams: football, competition cheer, volleyball (varsity and JV), soccer (boys and girls), basketball (boys varsity and JV and girls varsity), cross country, track & field, swim, baseball, softball and co-ed golf.
Cultivating wisdom is the emphasis at Trinity rather than just teaching facts and skills.
Students enjoy school at Trinity. Perhaps one of the most pleasant by-products of a Trinity education is that we continually hear from parents that their children love coming to school! They find education exhilarating and challenging which we think is a key component in building lifelong learners. There is a pervasive feeling of inspiration, fulfillment, joy and respect on the Trinity campus.
Reaching out to our valley is vital. While Trinity has experienced unparalleled growth and tremendous success over these past few years, we do not feel our mission is accomplished by just educating our own students excellently and serving only Trinity families. It is our hope that Trinity continues to be an inspiration to the Santa Clarita Valley and beyond. Trinity students enjoy field trips to Children's Hunger Fund, Hope Gardens, Hart Games, and other similar local organizations where they can perform community service. Events such as our Speaker Series and Spring Gala are just a few of the ways we can share fun, exciting, God-honoring experiences with our valley. Through these special events we seek to entertain, enrich, educate and give back to our great community which has been such a tremendous support to us since our founding.
At Trinity we are pressing on to fulfill our mission to produce young scholars who can read well, write well, speak well and think well and who are imbued with virtue, wisdom, purpose, and courage. We care deeply about raising up this current generation to become dynamic, humble, Christian leaders who will help shape the future.
We invite you and your family to become a part of Trinity and experience a renaissance in education that is unfolding right here in Santa Clarita. Remarkable things are happening at Trinity and we want your family to join us on this extraordinary journey!
