Overview:
HMTCA’s program was built on a rigorous academic foundation emphasizing two complementary disciplines: science and
the arts. This thematic approach to learning allows students to engage in theater, dance, music, visual arts and literature
workshops along with their inquiry-based science courses. Learning goals are well-defined and teachers honor differences
in student learning styles.
The Early College model offers high school students the opportunity to engage in coursework on the Trinity College
campus, earning college credits before graduation, at no cost to the students or their families. The challenging core
curriculum and culture of high expectations provide an environment in which students are able to excel academically and
socially as they prepare for their future schooling and careers.
