Ready to Begin Your Own Patriot Journey?
A Tradition of Excellence and A Future of Possibility
At Trinity Episcopal School, our admissions process reflects our whole-child philosophy. We look beyond test scores to truly understand each student as a unique individual.
We thoughtfully review academic records, invite students to join us on campus for an age-appropriate shadow day, and conduct assessments that help us see their strengths and needs. We also value feedback from families, teachers, and our community to ensure we consider the whole child — mind, body, and spirit — throughout the process.
With a maximum of two classes per grade level and class size caps in place, admission is competitive, and we encourage families to apply early. While admission is not guaranteed, every decision is made with care and a child-centered focus. We work to ensure that those who join our Trinity family are positioned to thrive academically, spiritually, and personally within our vibrant, faith-centered community.
Throughout each step of the process, our Enrollment Director, Kailey Leske, ensures that all communication is thoughtful, transparent, and supportive so families feel informed and cared for as they navigate each decision on their Trinity journey.

During their visit, the student also participates in an academic assessment designed to identify their strengths as well as any opportunities for growth or learning gaps. This thoughtful, engaging day helps us get to know each child as a whole person and ensures we can make a well-informed admissions decision for each Trinity applicant.

Shadow & Assess
The middle school shadow day is an important part of the admissions process, giving students the chance to experience Trinity firsthand while allowing us to thoughtfully consider their academic and social fit within our community.
Middle school applicants spend a full day on campus, paired with one or two Trinity ambassadors who guide them through the day, help them feel welcomed, and introduce them to future classmates. Students follow their ambassadors’ course schedule, transitioning from core academic classes into Trinity’s vibrant specials classes, and sharing lunch together.
Throughout the day, students have the opportunity to connect with peers and begin forming friendships early in their Trinity journey. They also complete an academic assessment that helps us understand their strengths and areas for growth. This experience gives both the applicant and our team valuable insight into how they can thrive as part of the Trinity family.
