Accreditation Update Trinity was first accredited in 2012 by the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACSCASI), a division of AdvancED. This year, an external review team came to Trinity’s campus as the school sought to renew its accreditation. We interviewed Upper School Principal Karen Alexander on the renewal process.

Q: Why is accreditation significant to Trinity?

A: “Accreditation is important for a couple of reasons. First, it’s always good to have an outside evaluator.

AdvancED, and SACS-CASI in particular, are the ‘blue ribbon’ in terms of accreditation. They accredit based upon who you claim you are, and on whether you meet their standards of education within the context of your mission and vision.

“We say in our mission that we exist to educate students to the glory of God by pursuing excellence for mind and heart. That mind and heart is going out into a world that is not made up of people who are all likeminded. To be able to meet the standards of an organization that is not Christian says something. It says we are not preparing our students to go into some insulated microcosm of

the world. We are preparing to send them out into the real world.”

Q: What did the team have to say about our school?

A: “At the end of their two days on our campus, Dr. Wright and the rest of the review team sat down to give us our temporary exit report. He started by saying how impressed the entire team was with who our students are as individuals. They were impressed with our teachers, with our support systems, and with the Gryphon’s LAIR (Learning Assistance and Institutional Resources).

That feedback was my favorite part of this entire process.

Q: What comes next?

“For now, we wait. We know that the external review team has recommended us for another five years of accreditation, which is the highest recommendation possible.

We hope to receive the official stamp of approval in June, and once we do, it’s right back to work.”

“We are not preparing our students to go into some insulated microcosm of the world. We are preparing to send them out into the real world.”

“They also pointed out what are called our ‘powerful practices.’ Those are the things that they think we do the best. The team gave us phenomenal scores regarding support staff, instructional time and resources, governance and leadership, and meaningful engagement of our families. I was so excited to hear that because accreditation is a community thing, and we are a community that is committed to education.”

Lower School (K-6)

“My primary goal is not to train little scientific minds. It’s to train hearts for Christ.”

One step into the Lower School science room is all it takes to see the wonder Mrs. Tewell inspires in her students. In November, second grade constructed a giant aquarium and filled it with life-size drawings of sea creatures. In December, third graders built a full-fledged zoo, dressed as their favorite animals, and invited their parents to interact with each exhibit. In early spring, Mrs. Tewell’s students partnered with AP students to learn about environmental science.

“It makes a mark on the kids,” said Mrs. Tewell. “They aren’t just studying something — they are part of it. It’s something bigger than just a lesson on a paper.”

At Trinity, students discover biblical truths in every subject.

Through her science lessons, Mrs. Tewell finds it easy to instill a sense of wonder and appreciation for God in her classes.

“I’m not expecting the difference between a deciduous and coniferous tree to shape a first grader for the rest of their lives,” said Mrs. Tewell, “but when I talk about how God put thought into something or designed it so intricately, then we’re drawing it back.”

On the first day of class, Mrs. Tewell gave her first-grade students a wrapped gift box to open. This first lesson set the tone for the entire upcoming year of science.

“I told them this is like God giving us a gift,” said Mrs. Tewell.

“When we open this year of science, God watches us open the gift of his creation. I do care about science, but I care far more about how they love to see their creator and how they grow.

My primary goal is not to train little scientific minds. It’s to train hearts for Christ.”

Upper School (7-12)

Over the course of four months, Mr. Livingstone brought six visitors into his World War II History class to talk about their experiences during WWII. Five of those visitors were American veterans, but the sixth was Dr. Elane Geller, a Holocaust survivor.

Dr. Geller was four years old when her family was separated and taken to concentration camps. She spent time in Bergen-Belsen before being liberated at eight years old.

“When you talk about the Holocaust, you often talk about the people who died,” said junior Ethan Hussman. “Twelve million people died — you just keep hearing that number over and over, and you can forget that there were people who came out of this alive, who survived, and had to live through the aftermath.”

In December, Dr. Geller visited Trinity to speak in chapel and Mr. Livingstone’s class. In both settings, our students had the privilege of hearing firsthand the experiences she encountered during her time in the concentration camp.

“It’s one thing to read or watch a movie about the Holocaust, but hearing it through her mannerisms and her words... it’s a completely different experience,” said Ethan.

Later that week, Dr. Geller traveled with Mr. Livingstone’s class to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. for the first time.

“Walking through the museum with her was life-changing,” said senior Justin Wichterman. “You could see the past was coming back to her.”

For Justin, the most striking part of the museum was an exhibit that included one of the cattle cars the Nazis used to transport the Jewish people. For Ethan, it was a simple wall.

“You had to look over a high wall to see the screen that showed the liberation of Bergen-Belsen so younger visitors couldn’t see the images,” said Ethan. “All those memories came flooding back for Dr. Geller there.”

Meeting Dr. Geller was a once-in-alifetime experience for Trinity because the opportunity to meet veterans and survivors of World War II grows rarer and rarer every year.

“The veterans we thanked were the ones fighting this great evil she lived through,” said Ethan. “It made history jump off the page.”

K - 12 on One Campus Educating students from kindergarten to twelfth grade allows relationships to blossom across our school divisions. Each year, those relationships grow more and more intentional as our students develop strong bonds between each other.

This August, each class in the Lower School adopted seniors for the entire year. By praying for their seniors, sending them encouraging notes, inviting them to class events during seminar, and more, our younger grades showed exceptional love to the older students. However, the friendship between our Lower and Upper School goes beyond senior adoption. Classes in both divisions partner together frequently to make lessons come to life.

Step into the library, and you may find second grade practicing their reading skills with Mrs. Gingrich’s English class. Walk down to Gryphon’s Hill, and you may encounter Mrs. Miller’s AP Environmental Science students discovering life in the pond with fifth grade. Walk into Building 1 during the week of Commencement, and you may hear deafening cheers from the Lower School as our seniors take their final Senior Walk.

Our students love to spend time with each other. Every interaction is an opportunity for them to know and be known. Whether it’s helping kindergartners find their classrooms on the first day of school, celebrating senior oral defenses with Lower School classes, or a joint lab, the evidence is everywhere. Having Grades K through 12 on one campus makes a difference in the minds and the hearts of our students every day of the week.

Homecoming This year, both the Lower School and the Upper School celebrated Homecoming Week together! Our younger and older students ushered in excitement for Homecoming Week with spirit days, pep rallies, and games during seminar. Homecoming Week ended in the traditional Upper School Homecoming Dance. This year’s theme was “Winter Wonderland.”

10

Some of the week’s activities included bubble ball soccer, a faculty-student dance competition, themed spirit days, a visit from basketball performer Tanya Crevier, and the Homecoming Night basketball games. The Lower School cheerleaders performed a special routine during the halftime show, and our boys won against Fairfax Home School thanks to a tie-breaking shot by junior Reagan Saunders.

Chapel There’s always something new going on in chapel at Trinity.

Both our Lower and Upper Schools often welcome special guest speakers and groups to address our students.

This year, Trinity had the opportunity to welcome guest speakers such as alumna Courtney Hulbert, alumnus Evan Reyle from the Lamb Center, author Jane Hampton Cook, Chinese singer

Vigi Lee, and the Petrean family musicians who represented Romanian Christian Enterprises.

We also heard from members of Trinity’s faculty, including Christian Studies teacher Billy Robinson, Upper School Spanish teacher Naomi Sarmiento, Upper School history teacher Cody Phillips, and Upper School math teacher Christina Ko.

Trinity Lifers

“Lifers” are students who attend Trinity for their entire K through 12 education. These 18 students have been Gryphons for as long as they can recall. What do some of them have to say about their time here?

“Trinity is like nowhere else. Every teacher has a genuine care for the students. The community is so close. I know that the friends I’ve made here are friends for life. The work may be hard, and the days may be long; but everything I’ve learned, and every way I’ve grown will stay with me for life.”

-Daniel Seitz “Trinity has meant a lifetime of Christ-centered community to me. I have loved the relationships I have developed over the past 12 years, and I will miss the sense of close fellowship that I found here.”

-Lillian Holley “Going to Trinity my whole life has meant so much to me because I got the opportunity to grow up with so many of my classmates, who became like family to me.”

-Emily Schoka 14

The Learning Center Our on-campus Learning Center, which is housed in the Gryphon’s LAIR (Learning Assistance and Institutional Resources), is full of resources that help students with learning differences to realize their fullest academic and social potential.

“It’s a place to level the playing field for some of these kids where learning is a challenge,” said Kim Miller, Dean of Curriculum and Instruction at Trinity. “Our kids are finally equipped. They have an advocate and are learning how they learn. They are able to articulate to their teachers the best way that they can assimilate information.”

The Learning Center’s team includes three Executive Function coaches, one ESOL coach, and four NILD therapists who work directly with student’s teachers, embedding support into every part of the school day.

“Not many schools have the opportunity and privilege we have to provide hope for students that might be struggling,” said Mrs. Miller. “If parents at other schools wanted that type of educational therapy, they would have to go find an independent therapist. We have them on-site at Trinity. Knowing the kids, looking at their growth, and watching them thrive in their place of giftedness instead of focusing solely on their grades is an absolute privilege.”

WHAT DO PARENTS SAY? “They care about the students and are committed to bringing out the best in each child.”

“Through Executive Function Study Hall and LAIR support, our daughter has been able to thrive and to succeed, where in the past she was left discouraged. The team in the LAIR not only supports our daughter with her academic challenges, but also her faith journey. Everything they do reinforces her identity in Christ.“ “We are truly grateful for the resources provided in the LAIR and those specialists who pour their hearts and souls into helping our child succeed.“

“Not many schools have the opportunity and privilege we have to provide hope to students that might be struggling.”

SPOTLIGHT on Trinity

SPOTLIGHT on Trinity, our 30th Anniversary Celebration Benefit, was an amazing event! We raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars through the generosity of our donors.

Several former faculty, staff, and students joined us at SPOTLIGHT. Our guests were excited to find Dr. J.C. Lasmanis and his wife in the audience.

Dr. Lasmanis was our first headmaster, and his wife Charlane served as both a teacher and administrator at Trinity.

The night also featured guest speakers:

Miss Johnson, an Upper School English teacher; Chris Sicks, a TCS parent; and Courtney Hulbert, an alumna who graduated in the Class of 2013.

The evening’s proceeds went to our school’s Annual Fund, which helps families bridge the gap between actual tuition cost and tuition paid. It benefits many beloved TCS families through direct tuition assistance! Your donations change lives at Trinity Christian School.

HELP TELL THE Join us as we embark on a journey to enhance community, expand our campus, and enrich spaces where meaningful, lasting connections are made.

The Story So Far God has given Trinity a story filled with blessings over the past 30 years. He has brought us from a fledgling start with only four faculty and 40 students to a 25-acre campus with almost 700 students, a staff of well over 100, a robust and rigorous academic program, numerous fine arts and athletic opportunities, a superb teaching faculty, and a specialized Learning Center to support and celebrate the variety of gifts among our students. On our 30th anniversary, we raise our Ebenezer to declare that “hitherto the Lord has helped us.”

As we commence the next 30 years of our story, we commend ourselves anew to the faithful God of the past 30 years. His bounty is the continuing source of blessing for Trinity’s next story.

Help Tell the Next Story includes enhancements to the Braddock Road Campus as well as the purchase of an additional 29 acres on Shirley Gate Road. This process will provide multiple opportunities to further serve our students and their families.

The immediate opportunity is the installation of artificial turf on both of our existing athletic fields and the purchase of new buses. Future opportunities include an additional 400 parking spaces on the Shirley Gate campus, new baseball and multi-use athletic fields, and possibly an Upper School building to include a dedicated Fine Arts facility, cafeteria, media center, laboratories, and classrooms.

Our abiding goal is for our students to know God, to think his thoughts after him, and to make his glory known as they pursue excellence for mind and heart.

“We give joyfully, especially to Trinity, because we just see the fruit in so many children’s lives - not only in our own kids but in the lives of their friends. We see giving as a real investment in eternity.

It’s an investment in the future of the next generation of believers.”

-Gayle Fuller, Trinity Christian School Nurse, Alumni Parent 22

NEXT STORY What are Trinity’s goals for this Capital Campaign?

As our school grows, our needs grow. We plan to meet those needs by raising 12 million dollars over the next five years. Our Capital Campaign is designed so our current community and future community can thrive.

Will this Capital Campaign increase the cost of my child’s tuition?

No. Our Capital Campaign is constructed so both the school’s operating budget, and the cost of tuition are not affected.

I can’t afford to give much. Does my gift still make a difference?

A gift of any size can help make a lasting difference. Making a pledge that fits your family’s income is one of the easiest ways to contribute to Trinity’s Capital Campaign. A pledge of just twenty dollars per week adds up to over $3,000 in three years!

Why should I make a gift to Help Tell The Next Story?

Trinity would not exist as it does today without the generosity of donors who have contributed over $15 million to prior Capital Campaigns. With the help of your gift, we will continue to provide a comprehensive education rooted in Christ to the generations to come. Your prayers and your financial support make it possible for Trinity to continue to follow the mission God has given to us as a school that grows students into mature followers of Christ.
