Academics

Holy Trinity offers a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum that encourages independence, creativity and critical thinking. From our innovative B-STEM Honors program to a growing list of AP and college dual credit courses, we provide a curriculum that will prepare our students for success in college and beyond. In fall 2018, we introduced a one-to-one technology plan that equips students with Chromebook touch-screen laptops, ensuring every student has access to cutting-edge technology and resources that will help them succeed.

We believe great education begins with great teachers. Our school is recognized for our talented and committed faculty who care about each student’s success. If you need extra help, Holy Trinity’s teachers are available for one-on-one tutoring before and after school. Our Resource Learning Center is a valuable service available throughout the day. In addition to improving academic performance, our tutoring program will help you develop strong study habits, effective time management, and problem-solving skills.
