    The caliber and character of Trinity School's graduates drew me to learn more about this incredible…read morecommunity. I was entrenched in the college admissions mania with a 9 year career with the Morehead-Cain Scholarship Foundation. I had the privilege of being an Advisor to three Scholarship recipients who were Trinity graduates. These young leaders were poised and successful. They had a strong sense character that demonstrated maturity and integrity in the way they interacted with others. They realized the value of reflection and had the ability to articulate their opinions in a respectful way - open to hearing and learning from others' perspectives. They had a strong sense of self and purpose about how they were spending their time. These things marked a different type of college applicant and mature young adult. Simply put, these values and motivations of these Trinity graduates reflected the young women my husband and I aspire to launch into the "real world" someday. We were impressed by current Trinity students too as it was clear they had a deep desire to explore, better understand, develop, and most importantly share their gifts with the world. But likely what we fell in love with the most was the mission-driven authenticity and warmth. There's something about knowing that the place where your children will spend so much of their childhood and young adulthood aligns with your core values as a family. It's a gift for our children and our family - and one for which I'm forever grateful. *In full transparency, I currently work at Trinity School so I won't claim to be unbiased. The impression that Trinity School made on me as a prospective parent drew me to my current role at the school. I could write another full review for what an amazing place this is to work as well!

    I sent two daughters to High School at Trinity while we lived out of State. It was a truly amazing…read moreexperience for both of them. From learning Latin to reading and discussing the Classics. Science courses were rigorous and interesting. The teachers care about each student as a person.

Although it is…read morepretty expensive ($8k+), he has really developed there and the educational staff there is top notch. Montessori schools can be a crap shoot since Miss Montessori in her infinite wisdom never trademarked her school name or philosophy. So any joker can call themselves a Montessori school. There are a few in Chapel Hill like this. However this school is a legit Montessori school. It's accredited by one of the big Montessori organizations and they take their training seriously there. I think all of the teachers are Montessori certified, most of the helpers too. What really impressed me on the tour was that all the teachers have been there for many years. They're all really dedicated to the children and letting them explore their world. The facilities are ridiculously nice. They have wonderful playgrounds and the middle school is new. They have a new music and art building which is amazingly nice. You get what you pay for in this case. They have very active parents who organize multiple fundraisers for the school. I've got no reservations about sending my son here.

Both our children have attended STM since kindergarten (over 9 years!), and we've been very happy with the education they've received, as well as the community of parents, most of whom are happy to volunteer with the school's many extra-curricular activities and events. Eighth grade graduation this past June was very poignant for all. The children dispersed to half dozen or so high schools in the area, with our child going to a public high school in Chapel Hill. Our child's grades at STM were not at the top of the class, but I'm pleased to report that for the first quarter in a Chapel Hill high school, "As" were received in honors Math, honors English, honors Biology, honors World History, and honors Spanish (as well as in gym and art)! Moreover, and almost equally important, our child has seamlessly managed the social transition from a relatively small Catholic school with small classes to a very large public school with much larger classes. We are very pleased with the academic - and moral -- preparation STM has provided our children, and we feel the academic rigor and discipline offered by STM have played a significant role in our child's relatively easy academic transition to a large public high school. We're also very happy with school's leadership, which most skillfully steered STM through the rocks and shoals of COVID times, and has brought on board -- and retained -- excellent teachers.
