Trinity Academy’s Skilled Faculty Truly Invested In the Lives of Students Special to 919 Magazine
Celebrating 22 years in Raleigh, Trinity Academy features a highly skilled faculty that is excellent in their craft and truly invested in the lives of students. “We focus on the classical arts and sciences and offer a full array of high-quality, competitive athletics and award-winning fine arts,” said Dr. Robert Littlejohn, who enters his 12th year as Trinity’s Head of School this year. “Trinity Academy rivals the best schools in the region, boasting 100 percent college-acceptance and generous perstudent college scholarship offers.” “The most important investment parents can ever make is an investment in their child’s future through a K-12 education. It is during these formative years that the brain is formed and that character develops,” said Dr. Littlejohn, a Ph.D. Biologist, who has authored two college biology laboratory texts and published 26 reports of original research. “These processes cannot be reversed or redone. Parents must seriously consider what outcomes, and what kind of future, they want for their children.” As a TK-12 school, Trinity Academy devotes years to shaping every student’s intellectual, spiritual, physical, emotional and relational lives, Dr. Littlejohn noted. “Every credible education emphasizes Science, Math, History, Literature and Foreign Language. Trinity Academy emphasizes these from TK-12, but may be the only school in the area that prepares students with essential life skills through combining instruction in logic, rhetoric, religious studies and character education,” he said. Additionally, Fine Arts and Athletics are “curricular”– meaning every student participates. Not only does Trinity Academy provide students full array of middle grades, junior varsity and varsity men’s and women’s sports, Trinity offers two Theatre Arts productions for both middle and high school students annually – and features many family oriented events through the year. Dr. Littlejohn added that, “While most schools emphasize one over the other, Trinity uniquely integrates authentic Christianity with superior academics. We want our graduates to emerge as ‘thinking Christians’ who apply the same investigative, analytical and problem solving skills to discovering spiritual truth as they do to comprehending the natural world. We want them to be culture changers whose faith and knowledge intersect throughout their daily lives.” Trinity Academy is located at 10224 Baileywick Road in North Raleigh, just south of I-540.
