Trinity Presbyterian School is a Christian day school located in Montgomery, Alabama. The student body represents various Protestant denominations. The curriculum is college preparatory, and the school is operated through an independent corporation with an 18-member board of directors.
Academics
Trinity's mission statement is "To glorify God by providing for students the highest quality college-preparatory education, training them in the biblical world and life view, thus enabling them to serve God in spirit, mind, and body." Trinity's average class size is 20 and it is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Trinity is also a member of the Alabama Association of Independent Schools, National Association of College Admissions Counselors, the Association of Christian Schools International and The College Board.
Trinity offers courses in English, mathematics, sciences, foreign languages, history, Biblical ethics, economics, as well as various electives. Students may enroll in advanced placement (AP) programs in the subjects of English literature and composition, biology, chemistry, European history, and United States history as well as honors courses in anatomy and physiology, French, Latin, Spanish, art history, and studio art.
Annually, Trinity School produces a drama production in which all high school students are encouraged to participate. Students may have roles from leading speaking parts to set design to theatrical sound and lighting. Every year this play sells out and is the highlight of many Trinity students' school experiences.
Christian Studies Program
Students are required to enroll in one Christian Studies class per semester per year. The 9th grade studies comparative denominations, looking at church history and the development of the church in the Book of Acts, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Protestant denominations. The 10th grade studies world religions, Islam, Mormonism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Catholicism.
In addition to Trinity School, there are two other primary private schools in Montgomery: The Montgomery Academy and Saint James.
The Brian E. Willett Fine Arts Hall
In 2002, construction was completed on the Brian E. Willett Fine Arts Hall. This is where the cafeteria is located, and where the annual High School play is held. Also, the dance ensemble and choral groups perform here. Willett Hall was aptly named so after Trinity's longtime headmaster Brian Willett for his genuine dedication to Trinity School as well as his great character and authentic caring of each student at the school.
Apple 1:1 Program
As of the 2012-13 school year, Trinity is fully integrated into the Apple 1:1 student Macbook program. Each student in grades 6 and 7 has their own Macbook, and each student in grades 8-12 has their own MacBook air. Macbook, iPad and iPod touch carts are available for classroom use in grades K4-5.
