SECTION IX MISSION
The mission of Trinity School is to educate students in kindergarten to grade twelve within the framework of Christian faith and conviction—teaching the classical tools of learning; providing a rich yet unhurried curriculum; and communicating truth, goodness, and beauty.
Trinity School welcomes all truth as God’s truth. This perspective promotes unfettered inquiry in which all subjects may be studied and all questions asked. At the same time Trinity seeks to understand and adopt God’s interpretation of every aspect of life, integrating all subjects in a unified perspective that is thoroughly Christian and consistent with the Scriptures. Trinity emphasizes rigorous, critical thinking as part of the discipleship of the intellect; cultivates a lifelong love of learning; and exposes students to the great conversations and traditions of western culture as well as to other cultures.
Trinity School seeks to provide an education in goodness, one that develops the moral imagination, teaches virtuous habits, and awakens in students a vibrant love for God and neighbor. Most importantly, Trinity hopes to plant and tend the seed of faith in Jesus Christ, without which true goodness is impossible, and to shape that faith into deep spirituality and Christian character. By practicing such habits as fairness, humility, truthfulness, self-control, perseverance, courage, and compassion, Trinity prepares students for benevolent engagement with the culture at large. Such moral education is arduous work, accomplished by precept and praise, but above all by example, told from history and literature, lived by parents, teachers, and school leaders.
Trinity School nurtures an appreciation for reflections of God’s glory and beauty in nature, in the arts, in culture, and in human relationships. At Trinity both aesthetic discernment and imaginative expression are important aspects of education. Trinity exposes students to sublime expressions of beauty, cultivates the imagination, and strives to develop in every student an ability to re-express God’s beauty in creative ways.
SECTION X DOCTRINAL COMMITMENTS
Trinity School is a Christian school, dedicated to a vision of education that is rooted in the Triune God. As an independent school, without institutional ties to any church or denomination, we remain committed to what C.S. Lewis called “mere Christianity”: “no insipid inter-denominational transparency, but something positive, self-consistent and inexhaustible.” We hold to those truths which have united Christians through the ages, across the boundaries of time, place, race, denomination, and tradition:
The only true God, the almighty Creator of all things, existing eternally in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—full of love and glory.
The unique divine inspiration, entire trustworthiness and authority of the Bible.
The value and dignity of all people: created in God’s image to live in love and holiness, but alienated from God and each other because of our sin and guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.
Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, who lived as a perfect example, who assumed the judgment due sinners by dying in our place, and who was bodily raised from the dead and ascended as Savior and Lord.
Justification by God’s grace to all who repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
The indwelling presence and transforming power of the Holy Spirit, who gives to all believers a new life and new calling to obedient service.
The unity of all believers in Jesus Christ, manifest in worshiping and witnessing churches making disciples throughout the world.
The victorious reign and future personal return of Jesus Christ, who will judge all people with justice and mercy, giving over the unrepentant to eternal condemnation but receiving the redeemed into eternal life.
