Trinity Christian School

The Three “C’s” of Education

Story Contributed By Trinity Christian Photos Contributed

For the last 45 years Trinity Christian School, a ministry of Trinity Presbyterian Church, has existed to partner with Christian parents of Lee County and the surrounding area to graduate virtuous scholars who think clearly, listen carefully, discern wisely and reason persuasively — all with an eagerness to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. The only classical Christian school in East Alabama, TCS offers a rigorous K-12 academic program complete with top-tier fine arts and athletic programs. Our graduates are spread across the country fulfilling the purposes God has ordained.

Classical. Going beyond merely assimilating and restating facts, a classical model aims to teach values, truth and critical thinking. Widely used until the mid-20th century, this approach educated most of the great thinkers and artists of the Renaissance, Reformation and early American historical periods. A classical model also best respects the development stages of a child’s learning abilities and seeks to build upon the natural stages of cognitive maturation.

Christian. We believe that all truth is God’s truth, and that all subjects should be taught as part of a divinely ordered whole. Our goal is to train children in a world and life view that is distinctly biblical, giving them the necessary foundation to serve God in every aspect in His world. TCS students are challenged to bring every thought into captivity for Christ and to use the skills and knowledge they master for glorifying God in all spheres of life.

Covenantal. We assist parents in the God-given responsibility of educating their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Under the delegation of the family (in loco parentis), we seek to teach and discipline in a secure Christian environment of classical academic excellence. Our desire is to help parents cultivate in their children an enduring love of learning, a commitment to serve others and a dedication to the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, forged from the historical models of orthodox Christianity.

Dear Trinity Class of 2022,

You have run the race well! Your last final has been turned in, you have performed in your last concert and you have competed in your last game as a Trinity student. You have had your last Socratic circle, your rhetoric speech has been presented and you’ve had your last cup of coffee while discussing Aristotle. What a joy to have watched over the years as the Lord has grown you into a wonderful group of young men and women who exemplify each and every day “glorifying God and enjoying Him”. We will miss your servant hearts, your enthusiasm for learning and your desire to put the needs of others before your own, and we will remember for many years the many ways that you led the students on our campus by serving them in love. You truly are virtuous scholars who think clearly, listen carefully, discern wisely, reason persuasively and articulate precisely, and it is our honor to call you alumni of Trinity Christian School. We look forward to seeing all the ways you will serve the Kingdom throughout your lives! With gratitude and love, Mr. Cornelius
