MISSION Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, a school founded and sustained in the Episcopal tradition, offers an academically challenging curriculum in an environment that reflects the joy and peace of Christian values. We welcome motivated students of average and above average ability who come from any religious, racial, social, or ethnic group. Each student and family is encouraged by competent faculty and staff to participate fully in the spiritual, athletic, artistic, and social life of the academic community. As our students grow to appreciate their value to themselves and to the school community, they will leave Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy with valuable tools for effective learning and living.

STEERING COMMITTEE CHAIRS Nathan and Stacy-Anne Zeller are the chairs of the HT Lighting the Way campaign and serve as representatives of our school community.

Holy Trinity’s focus on Mind, Body and Spirit was the drawing factor for the Zeller family. Victor and Marty are able to fully participate in and grow all of their interests, from inside the classroom and on the chess team, a variety of sports, school development groups like the I-Team, and to their participation in Character Education and Chapel services.

“We feel blessed and proud every day to be part of the Holy Trinity family, and are excited to share everything that the IDEAS Institute will offer our faculty and students. Join us in Lighting the Way toward an exciting and successful future for Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy!”

The IDEAS Institute For 66 years, Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy has remained steadfast to the premise that a “whole child” approach to education offers students the greatest opportunity for success in college, career, and life. Our teachers know that modern, hands-on approaches to learning are essential in creating a strong academic and socio-emotional foundation, along with adaptability and the skills to navigate our rapidly changing, technology-based world. As they continually seek opportunities to advance their instructional techniques and deliver unrivaled educational experiences, equipping students with the knowledge and enrichments to “Go Anywhere,” our facilities must evolve to meet their caliber of teaching.

The IDEAS Institute is envisioned as an extension of Holy Trinity’s Upper and Lower School IDEAS Centers which offer designated spaces for immersive classes that foster inquiry- and projectbased learning, as well as co-curricular experiences beyond traditional classroom academics.

This 30,000 square-foot, two-story, multi-use academic building will mirror the functional learning environments of a college/university campus and serve as the perfect springboard to a student’s future.

THE INVESTMENT Our current classrooms average approximately 600-square-feet and do not provide optimum space for collaborative learning, experimentation, and for certain subjects to take flight.

The new building will be a space worthy of the talent who will teach in it and will allow our teachers to expand their curriculum and their creativity.

The IDEAS Institute will require an investment of $10+ million and will be funded entirely through private donations. Private giving has provided funding for all Holy Trinity facilities to date and continues to be necessary to ensure the growth of our school for generations to come.

THE RESULT OF YOUR GIVING The beneficiaries of your generous gift are the young people of our school community who will spend much of their time using this facility. Giving to The IDEAS Institute is about investing in their future!

A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BRAID FAMILY Please consider taking your passion for our school to the next level by participating in the Lighting the Way Campaign for the IDEAS Institute. Donors who came before your family laid the groundwork by donating for portions of the Lower School and the entire Upper School campuses. Please consider joining other Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy parents, grandparents, alumni, and Board of Trustee members by committing to a pledge to bring the IDEAS Institute to life.

This investment may be funded over a three-to-five-year period. Please join us in

Lighting the Way!
