Many many people like the current Headmaster, as well as the Middle School Head. These current Heads of schools are always available whenever you need to talk. They truly are very qualified, but very humble and approachable. Their causes may be misunderstood, but ethically, they are good people. They are especially kind, friendly, and respectful and towards the children. The goal is evident--to bring out the best in TVS community. It may a challenging task, but anything worthwhile always requires fortitude.
The Lower School at TVS is excellent! There is a supportive, healthy environment. The curriculum is very solid.
The Upper school is a real nightmare: administration cares most about keeping parents happy, but at a real cost to the integrity of educational standards. Grades are inflated beyond belief. Teachers who are understandably frustrated are afraid to speak up. The leadership is awful: there are significant disparities between what is said and what is done - both in terms of programs and in terms of philosophy. If you want to send your child to a country club where they learn the skills of manipulation, duplicity and cohersion, TVS upper school should be your choice. If you want your child to learn to think critically and to truly be encouraged to develop character, you may want to consider another option.
I feel that Trinity Valley has really pushed me to do my best and study as hard as I can to get an A. I learned that you can't become a millionare by sitting around and doing nothing: you have to work hard. I also learned that disipline is vital. I belive there are wonderful teachers at Trinity Valley and they are always willing to help the children and their parents. The teachers make it fun and educational. I have wonderful friends a Trinity Valley and they are all kind and considerate (as well as their parnents). I feel that none can contend with the great enviorment, staff and beautiful campus that Trinity Valley has.
My daughter attended TVS from K thru 8. We moved to Houston and had her enrolled at the Awty International School. I can say that this was the best education she could have received. She had many academic scholarship offers in her senior year. So she was able to choose the college that she thought was the best fit. She woud up having a zest for learning. She decided to stay in college until she received her PhD. Now that she is married and has two children, she is planning to send them to a private preparatory school. I consider TVS tjhe best investment I made. That is why the Yale admissions office considers it the best private preparatory school in the Ft. Wiorth-Dallas area.
The parents at this school are terrible human beings. And this directly correllates to the children. They all suffer from eliteism and treat others extremely poorly. The tuition is ridiculous and increases every year. I am moving and taking my kids away from this unhealthy atmosphere. SO DISAPPOINTED!!!
Love, love, love Trinity Valley!! My son is in K this year (Mrs. Moore) and we have had a fantastic year and a great experience with the other parents and the school.
Trinity Valley School is a school with a unique combination of high expectations, strict academic standards, caring teachers and fun. My son, who has attended the school for four years feels appreciated, special and cared for. We as parents feel that he is getting an excellent education which will open up educational opportunities that most local public schools cannot provide. The small atmosphere creates a family environment in which everyone from the headmaster on down knows each student and family. We feel very forturnate to have found such a special school.
Though my children have only attended here for summer camp. I have to say that the experience and academics from the camp was great. The teachers super nice and equally as wonderful along with the staff. Knowledge of the material covered was great. I would say this is a great school and my children plan to attend here for high school. I do feel this school is top notch, just as wonderful organized as our school of current choice. Academics great, staff great and quality of life great.
We attended TVS for one year. We were so excited that our child was going to an elite school. However, after being there for a year, we decided the stodgy school was not for our family. It wasn t until we moved to a new school that we realized just how stifling the environment was for our child s personality. I m glad our child has regained a personality in a different environment. There are plenty of good private schools in the area. Take time to find out what is right for your family.
