COLLEGE ADVISING: Our college counselors provide year- round guidance and support for students and their families as they go through the college selection and application process. Our students attend colleges and universities across the country and finding the right fit for students and families is our primary goal. Through workshops, meetings, and a wealth of knowledge and experience, our counselors work hard to ensure our graduates move on to an educational program that is the best fit for them. COMMUNITY SERVICE: Community Service is a major focus at the Academy. Beginning in the Lower School, students work on various service and sharing projects throughout the year. The entire school selects a community service partner and all commu- nity service efforts go toward that one partner all year long. Past partner service organizations have included Dream Court, the Cancer Wellness Foundation of Central Alabama, Service Dogs of Alabama, Children's of Alabama, and the Montgomery Area Food Bank. Seniors participate in Philanthropy 101, a specially designed summer class that exposes students to the value of philanthropy at every level. TUITION: Tuition includes an enrollment deposit, a hot nu- tritious lunch, snacks, yearbook, all technology fees, and admission to home athletic events. There are no building fees or new family fees assessed. Please inquire about our financial assistance pro- grams. After-School Care Program is offered for students in grades K-8 until 5:30 p.m. and provides an energizing snack, supervised homework time with special individual help, and encouragement of organizational and study skills.

Trinity School offers over 32 Advanced Placement (AP) courses and Honor courses. The Lower School STEAM Studio is inspiring critical thinking in students (K3-5th grade), where they are engaged by stimulating curriculum that in- creases achievement and creates positive attitudes towards the study of STEAM-related fields—science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics. The Lower School Media Center en- compasses a library and an innovation lab, providing project- based learning activities to lower school students. SERVICE: Serving others is paramount at Trinity. From the first day of Lower School to the last day of Upper School, Trinity’s focus is on putting others first. Trinity’s school-wide (K3-12) mis- sion project, Change 4 Change (C4C), has donated over $140,000 in the past five years to charitable organizations in Montgomery and throughout the world. Trinity’s junior and senior classes an- nually serve over 1,100 hours of community service with local or- ganizations, such as Common Ground, Habitat for Humanity, and The Salvation Army. Trinity believes students benefit greatly— both academically and emotionally—from volunteering their time and giving to make the community and world a better place. Therefore, a variety of service opportunities are provided to lower school students. They practice leadership, problem solving, col- laboration with others, time management, and communication. Trinity believes that while completing community service projects, students develop real-world skills that will help them succeed in middle school, high school and beyond.
