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!

Of course, not all counsellors but the few we experienced have put on movies, and are kinda immature in interacting during parent interaction. Don't get me wrong nobody is mean but the place isn't worth the price at all. YMCA is running laps around Duke School summer camp in terms of fun energy and don't tell me it's educational and cut out half the stated activities b/c suzie q didn't remember. Overall Duke School is a master a marketing an illusion of what it thinks it is. Maybe 20 years ago dude...

We had a very bad experience at this school. Charter schools are not subject to the same…read morerequirements and oversight as regular public schools, but this is only a good thing if the school is run by committed, thoughtful administrators and teachers. When the founder of this school retired, the Board (which consists of people who are questionably qualified and capable of running a school) ushered in a very traditional, rigid administration. The school changed so fast we nearly got whiplash -- gone were all the things that made it a wonderful alternative to traditional public school, like block scheduling, outdoor experiential learning, student-led clubs, student responsibility for the physical maintenance of the building, and individualized instruction. The school even expanded and opened a 5th grade classroom, which meant that elementary school children were mixed in with middle school and high school students - a recipe for disaster on so many levels. It also made the school very crowded.
