Committed
Holy Trinity students are embraced in a positive learning environment focused on a
balance of academic excellence and enduring values. Spiritual growth and personal
development are fostered though regular chapel services and purposeful character
education. Leadership is promoted in the context of honoring God in all we say and
do. Students from all religious backgrounds are welcomed and validated in a spiritual
environment that provides the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding and
appreciation of the world’s religions and cultures.
At Holy Trinity we foster spiritual formation in an inclusive manner, welcoming students of
all faiths and traditions, believing that God calls us to be a model of Christ’s love and grace.”
— The Reverend Joy Willard-Williford, Upper School Chaplain
The Holy Trinity “spirit of honor” comes to life through a vibrant character education
program. A strong cadre of teachers, volunteer parents, and outside speakers enrich
and promote our long-held Core Values. These values are put into action through
participation in meaningful community outreach and service-learning programs that
support worthy causes, underscore the virtues of global citizenship, and empower
students with the knowledge that their actions can have a profound impact on the
world around them.
In the Lower School, each day
begins in chapel, where faculty
and students gather for a positive
message, prayer and song. In
the Upper School, this spiritual
foundation grows through regular
chapel and leadership training that
challenges minds and changes lives.
to Making a Difference. Service-learning experiences connect
students to the larger world and help them discover their unique potential as leaders. Each year, a number
of students go the extra mile and earn the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. Many of these projects
become commitments that continue through college and lead to exciting internships, jobs, and careers.

Transforming Natural Curiosity
into Academic Achievement.
Inquisitive students engage in challenging, comprehensive curriculum that
fosters independent thinking and an appreciation for learning. Faculty
integrate technology into each classroom, lab, and studio to captivate students.
In the Lower School, the focus is on the concepts, critical thinking, and
creative abilities that prepare students to meet challenges successfully and
confidently. Dynamic teachers encourage young minds to follow their natural
curiosities in the pursuit of academic excellence.
Holy Trinity student scores consistently surpass local, state,
and national Advanced Placement exam passing rates.
Beginning in ninth grade, accelerated academics provide the opportunity to
earn college credits. A rigorous college preparatory curriculum which includes
honors and twenty-four Advanced Placement courses is part of the Holy
Trinity experience. At all levels, students are inspired to reach and meet high
expectations and be prepared to compete for admission to some of the most
selective colleges in the country. On average, a Holy Trinity student completes
more than four Advanced Placement courses before graduation.
Holy Trinity’s challenging academic
program includes honors and
Advanced Placement courses,
as well as engaged learning
experiences that prepare
students for the rigors of college
studies. Here, a teacher-student
team works with biotechnology
equipment that allows researchers
to distinguish DNA fragments,
separating them by size and
charge. This DNA “fingerprint” can
be used as forensic evidence to
assist in criminal, missing person,
and mass disaster cases.
10½:1
Small class size supports a student’s
sense of belonging and allows
teachers to anticipate to each
student’s academic needs on a daily
basis. Holy Trinity boasts a school-wide
student-to-faculty ratio of 10½:1.
Language studies begin in Preschool with Mandarin. Students may choose
from four languages: French, Latin, Mandarin, and Spanish.

More than an Education,
an Expedition.
GALAPAGOS FIELD COURSE: A semester of crossdisiplinary
coursework culminated in an eight-day
field trip to the unique ecosystem of the Galapagos
Islands. Students earned college credit for a
curriculum which included biology, climatology,
geology, geography, environmental science, and
language studies.
Expanding Horizons,
Engaging the World.
Our students experience learning beyond the classroom. The Lower
School enrichment programs include academically-related field
studies that connect students to the larger community. Music, visual
and performing arts programs develop the skills and confidence of
creative expression. Daily physical education and team sports embrace
everyone in a culture of athletic growth and development.
Upper School students broaden their horizons while deepening
their commitment to scholarship, artistic development, global
citizenship, and leadership opportunities. Students select from dozens
of clubs, honor societies, and leadership organizations. Travel-study
and service-learning trips engage students in hands-on learning
experiences that support the sense of community while expanding
practical academic knowledge. High School students have the
opportunity to conduct ecosystems research and reinforce foreign
language skills on an exciting annual trip abroad.
Enrichment programs transform each student’s educational experience
into a love of learning that catapults graduates to a lifetime of
intellectual curiosity, achievement, and success.

Discovering Passions
and Developing Talents.
create
Participation in the arts fosters the creative spirit, helps students
develop into well-rounded individuals, and is proven to enhance
academic performance. Lower School students perform on-stage
productions, in-studio artworks, play in the band, sing with Glee
Club, and love music. Students in the Upper School continue to
hone their artistic talents in visual arts, theater, band, and chorus.
They participate in art exhibitions, festivals, and competitions on
campus, in the community, and across the state.
Vertical teaming by faculty assures that students enjoy the benefits of
a planned progression throughout their Holy Trinity careers, with the
opportunity to develop their talents under the direction of educators
who are passionate about the arts as well as teaching. Graduates
possess and have demonstrated a wide array of aesthetic skills and
a deeper understanding of the artistic disciplines.
In Preschool, students discover their
creative abilities and develop artistic
skills. The arts encourage students to
think imaginatively and critically about
themselves and their place in the world
around them. Students apply their skills
and share their talents.
Students learn to

The Rewards of Commitment,
Teamwork, and Leadership.
Holy Trinity’s approach to athletics stresses achievement, integrity, leadership,
and good sportsmanship. In the Lower School, daily physical education
establishes a culture of fitness with special emphasis on team play, fair play,
and providing every student the opportunity to achieve athletic competency.
In the Upper School, the mission becomes striking a balance between athletic
and academic achievement. Interscholastic competition allows participants
to learn to work collaboratively, engage in leadership opportunities, and
experience the rewards of athletic endeavor.
We are blessed to have fielded seventeen state championship
teams in the past eleven years, a number unmatched by any
other Florida program. We also have more athletes competing
at the collegiate level than most schools five times our size.”
“— Doug Butler, Cross Country & Track Coach, Junior High Athletic Director
Student-athletes find a positive educational experience through commitment
to their teammates and the strength of Christian values in all our pursuits.
The award-winning program allows students of all ages and skill levels to
participate in athletic activities. Holy Trinity Tigers compete in the Parochial
League, Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), and Space Coast
Christian League (SCCL) as well as on intramural teams and clubs. This
broad range of opportunities enables each student to reach his or her potential
as an athlete, a scholar, and a person.
