They really pride themselves on curriculum and teaching the kids about the blessings God has for us. The parents are very involved some are not the friendliest, but that is expected. White shoes are part of the uniform, which is horrible for a child in Kindergarten. We have gone through 3 pairs of shoes.

All of the negative reviews are spot on. This school lacks the very principles that it boast. The atmosphere is thick with tension. No smiling faces from the staff/teachers. Simply put, you can get all of this "free" in public school.
This school is biased, greedy and has a "Penn State" mentality or code of secrecy. That forbid parents from speaking negatively in public about their school-you even have to sign a form stating so. The staff is miserable, rarely smiles, act as if you are bothering them (office staff and some teachers). Some teachers are verbally abusive to students. However, you are not allowed to speak of this (code of secrecy). Too many negatives to list. If seeking a private school education, spend a little more and upgrade to a school that values your child and you business. They do not practice what they preach or follow the golden rule.

Absolutely terrible. My son just started in the child care center and the staff for the most part are rude. In after school care, many of the teachers and assistants don't acknowledge parents or introduce themselves. I rarely see smiling faces and expected a bit more from the staff. Lack of communication in the classroom. No one bothers to tell you if something happens. The office secretary treats you as if something is wrong when you ask her a question. I don't get it. Someone needs to monitor closely in all classrooms because this is not the treatment that we deserve! I expected to at least see personable and friendly staff. I'm given the impression that some hate their jobs.

As a parent, Trinity Lutheran School is all that I could hope for my children and more. The staff and teachers provide a wonderful combination of challenging academics and Christian leadership. The students learn to be not only good scholars, but also good people. The communication between school and parents is unparalleled-- I have never seen a school that so actively shared information about current/upcoming events as well as their vision for the future. Not only are they dedicated to providing a quality education today, but the school is constantly adding additional programs and opportunities for students. I highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself the great things that are happening at Trinity Lutheran School.

Trinity Lutheran School has been a wonderful experience for my two boys in Middle School. It's the best kept secret in Harford County. The dedication that these teachers have is amazing. The teachers in math science, language arts, computers are all committed to giving the kids a strong foundation. They even have a public speaking class. There is alot of homework ---but it teaches time management and organizational skills. It's homework with a purpose. The middle school has lap-tops which is really preparing my kids for the future. I believe that they are being well prepared for high school. The education they are getting is great. Trinity has a top notch music and drama program. The sports are pretty fun too. The soccer and basketball teams play other Christian schools. The school is dedicated to producing very good students with Christian values.

This school is horrible. Everything is disorganized and a mess. My child comes home crying somedays because the teachers are so strict. The homework here is incredible. If i were you i would not make the mistake by sending my kid here.

I went to this school for 6 years, and I honestly did NOT like it. It was just horrible. So much, homework, so much stress. I gotta say, I love public schools MUCH more. It was like going to military school everyday..

I have two children that are currently enrolled at this school and they just absolutely love it! Everyday they eagerly look forward to school. The teachers and staff are friendly and caring and the curriculum is very good. Although the school is a little expensive, I have to say that so far it is well worth it. There is nothing like having happy children who like school!

The Trinity Lutheran Community was a blessing to our family. It was a safe haven for our son for three years. The teachers, administrators, clergy and staff members enriched his learning experiences by not only nurturing and challenging him academically but also physically and spiritually. We will always be grateful for the compassionate care and warmth you extended to our family. The school's faith-based curriculum nurtures the childrens souls in a way that blesses the entire family. Our son experienced/witnessed God s grace reflected in each teacher s face as he learned from them. We will always relish our Trinity memories.

Trinity is like a second home for us. My son is so comfortable in this school and when he's there, I know he's geeting nothing but positive feedback from the teachers and staff. I'm involved as a PTL rep and there are so many opportunities for parents to be involved. The academic program is not easy but my child is excelling and I believe he's getting a great education. Christian values are also a huge part of the curriculum and it makes me feel good when my son comes home with positive and moral ideas and thoughts that were taught it school. The people at Trinity are really great too. I think Pastor John and the entire staff do a great job of providing our children the best education possible and I would recommend this school to anyone.

Trinity is a wonderful school. Dedicated teachers and support staff give 100%. The cirriculm is well rounded and also provides areas such as art, music, library, computer, spanish, chapel, and gym. Christian values are stressed daily and everyone is expected to treat others as they would want to be treated themselves. Our daughter loves TLS. A school nurse is provided. The school serves hot lunches, has a wonderful playground, beautiful chapel, immaculate gym, and ample parking for all those special events where all the parents show up at once. The cirriculm can be demanding at times, which is a good thing. Parental involvent is available. Uniforms are worn. Bible verses are taught. The children are happy and the parents are happy as well.

Great curriculum, wonderful science and computer labs. My daughter loves the school as well as my husband and I. Christian education has made my daughter more aware of making good decisions. Camp is available in the summer and my daughter has already requested to attend again this summer.
