Upper School Curriculum Overview

At Trinity, our Upper School curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire students as they prepare for college and life beyond. Grounded in a biblical worldview and built on a foundation of academic excellence, our course offerings help students grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally.

Students in grades 9–12 engage in a rigorous, college-preparatory program that emphasizes independent thinking, strong study habits, and personal responsibility. The school year is divided into two semesters, and students attend seven class periods daily. 

The curriculum includes four years of core academics—English, mathematics, science, and social studies—alongside opportunities to explore and grow through foreign language, Christian studies, fine arts, computer science, and physical education.
