Academics

Grammar Stage (K-4)

In the grammar stage of the Trivium, which is the foundation of classical education, children absorb knowledge, facts, and language skills with enthusiasm and curiosity. At Trinity, we recognize the immense value of this stage as it lays the groundwork for a lifelong love of learning. By focusing on building a strong academic foundation during the grammar stage, we equip students with the tools to excel academically, fostering a deep understanding of various subjects and cultivating a thirst for knowledge.  Through the classical approach, your child will develop a solid educational base that not only prepares them for future academic success but also instills a sense of wonder, critical thinking abilities, and a strong moral compass that aligns with our Christian values.
