Transitioning to Middle School We recognize that the transition to middle school is a significant milestone in your child’s life. At Trinity School, we are honored to nurture students during their most formative years, watching them grow and change tremendously. Here, they have the freedom to flourish and become the learners they are meant to be. By the time they are ready to move on to middle school, we have a deep understanding of their unique strengths and aspirations.

Sarah Morgan Bonham, our Director of Outplacement, works closely with families and Atlanta area schools to help guide your child through the process of finding the best educational fit for their continued development. When you are ready to apply your child to middle school, she will meet with your family one-on-one to guide you through the application process, support you as you explore secondary school options, and ensure a smooth transition during the next step of your child’s academic journey.

“Once a Trinity child, always a Trinity child” is more than a Trinity School motto. Our students are known and loved during their time here, and we maintain that relationship after they graduate from Trinity and celebrate our alumni’s successes as they make their mark on the world.

Trinity School does not discriminate based on race, color, gender, religion or creed, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or family composition in the administration of our admission and educational policies, in the extension of financial assistance, or other school-administered programs.

Trinity School is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), Georgia Independent School Association (GISA), and Atlanta Area Association of Independent Schools (AAAIS).
