Greetings from the Admissions Department!

Thank you for your interest in learning more about our community where each child is known and celebrated.  While the formal admissions season has now passed, we are still offering select spots at both of our expansive campuses and maintain an active wait pool of qualified applicants for those fully enrolled grades.

I look forward to learning more about your family and welcome your questions!

Go Timberwolves!

Gem of a School

I am so glad we found Trinity - it has been such a wonderful experience for our family. They are a little gem in Silicon Valley, and so many families and kids just love being part of the Trinity community. We are in touch with many current and past families, and they still feel so connected to the school and the friends they made there. It's a testament to the strength and quality of the education and faculty team, the kind and inclusive community, and a small school setting where each child is known and matters.
