Trinity Lutheran used to be one of the best private schools in the area, leader of the PIAL Athletics league AND I was proud to say I graduated from there. Now with new leadership and teachers, Trinity has developed a reputation for hidden fees, unhappy students who can't wait to leave, and a habit for replacing their best teachers with the children of current staff members and cancelling amazing programs and traditions. Although many of Trinity's teachers and staff are exceptional and highly qualified, especially in their kindergarten, second grade, and preschool as well as Sandra Butler, former head of the middle school, Trinity like any school has its problems but remains one of the best elementary schools in the area. How prepared are the 8th graders for high school after so many changes? Not as well as they could be. How prepared are the 5th graders for other middle schools? Very prepared.
It has been a privilage to attend Trinity Lutheran School. The teachers are great and will help you through anything! The sports and music programs are great. Plus, the middle school offers classes such as Stock Marketing, Public Speaking, Art, Chorus, Drumming, Handbells, Activity Class, Outdoor Ed, Fly Fishing, Microsoft Office, Drama, Storytelling, Horror with Hitchcock, Rocketry, Robotics, Oyster Gardening, and Disney. This school is lots of fun and has a great learning enviorment! I love Trinity!
Trinity has an environment and student attitudes that far exceed other schools my son has been to. Academeically it is superior and the faculty and staff are incredible! They are all about the children as it should be.
I have graduated one child from Trinity and have two there now. Trinity has more than prepared my oldest for high school. I am proud to say he is currently ranked 1st in his high school class of 377. Along with great academics, the school builds students of character by having a caring staff and administration that treat the learners with respect. It is the best value in private school in the area and located in the heart of Hampton Rhoads.
Trinity provides an excellent private school education without sacrificing any of the public school amenities. The teachers are dedicated, creative and committed to each and every student. The administration is inspirational and supportive of the faculty, families and students. It is truly an exceptional school for its academics and its caring for the whole child. I absolutely recommend this school!
This is a good school, however if your child is struggling this is not the school for your child. There is no effort by the teachers to aid the success of a student that may be faltering in a particular subject.
