Greetings from Jerry Nunes, Head of School

Welcome to Trinity Christian School! As the Head of School, I am excited to be part of an institution whose vision over the last 40 years has been to prepare students, under the blessing of God, to know Christ, and to live purposefully and intelligently in the service of God and man. One of the greatest joys of each day is the ability to interact with our students and build relationships with them. God has given us a great stewardship here at Trinity Christian School by giving us each and every one of these students, and we praise Him for the opportunity to play a significant and influential role in their lives. As a staff, we also have the joy of beginning each day by focusing our minds on the Lord and seeking His grace to help us in all our endeavors. My desire is that we see the Lord bless our efforts here at Trinity Christian School as we seek to fulfill our mission to partner with Christian parents in providing their children a Biblically based, academically excellent, and classical education.

    Trinity Christian School in Montville is where faith, learning, and community come together. From the moment you step on campus, there’s a strong sense of safety and care—not just physically but emotionally and spiritually. It’s a place where students thrive academically while growing in their faith. What sets Trinity apart is how the Bible is at the heart of everything. Whether it’s science, history, or math, teachers tie lessons back to God’s Word, helping students see His presence in every subject. It’s more than learning about the Bible, it’s living it. Being a smaller school makes the relationships here special. Teachers know their students personally, acting as mentors who encourage and challenge them to excel. That personalized care makes a real difference. Students also form close bonds, creating a family-like community where everyone supports each other. This strong, faith-based environment prepares kids academically, spiritually, and socially, making Trinity a great choice.

    As a Classical, Christian School, it really lives up to its name. During my years at Trinity Christian School, I can confidently characterize it in two ways: excellence and virtue. I felt the teachers truly strove for excellence in their students. All the teachers loved their subject matter. The teachers individually made the classes engaging and difficult in their own way. They challenged each student to meet the potential that God created in the students, and they wouldn't hesitate to help out if a student needed further assistance. Secondly, the Student Body is growing not just in numbers, but in a Christ-like way. I've seen firsthand how God is using certain individuals within the student body to bring a new awareness of their walks with Christ. It's truly encouraging.

    I can't begin to share the overwhelming blessing Trinity has been to not just our children but our family. From the first day of kindergarten until today we KNOW that our children are cared for academically, spiritually, mentally and physically.

  • ~TCS Parent

    A classical education combining Christian thought, Latin and STEM fosters deep critical thinking, precise language skills, and strong analytical reasoning. Latin enhances vocabulary and logic, while STEM builds problem-solving abilities. A Christian worldview encourages confident engagement with society, a love for God and humility. Because Trinity Christian School offers these together, from Kindergarten to 12th grade they help to build a rigorous, well-rounded foundation far richer than the somewhat fragmented, test-driven approach typical in many public schools.

Statement of Faith

The purpose of Trinity Christian School is defined by the following declaration of principles:

List of 9 items.

  • 1

    The Bible, the inerrant and infallible Word of God, is the supreme norm for all of Christian faith and life and therefore for the educational enterprise of this Christian school corporation. While the ultimate authority in all matters of faith, order and morals is and must be the Bible alone, our understanding of these Holy Scriptures finds its fullest expression in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith.

  • 2

    In their education, children must come to learn that the world, and man's calling in it, can rightly be understood only in relation to the Triune God who by His creation, restoration, and governance directs all things to the coming of His kingdom and glorification of His name.

  • 3

    Man's sin, which brought upon mankind the curse of God, alienates him from his Creator, his neighbor, and the world; distorts his view of the true meaning and purpose of life; misdirects human culture; and therefore also corrupts the education of children.

  • 4

    Christian schools, organized and administered in accordance with legitimate standards and provisions for day schools, should be recognized in society as free to function according to their principles. Our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the Redeemer of, and the Light and the Way for, our human life in all its range and variety. Only through His life and work, and the work of His Spirit, are we guided in the truth and by faith recommitted to our purpose as those made in the image of God. Therefore, the Gospel is God's power to renew our educational enterprise.

  • 5

    The primary responsibility for education rests upon parents to whom children are entrusted by God. They are commanded to bring up their children in the training and admonition of the Lord. Therefore, anyone whom the parents appoint to substitute in a teaching capacity must satisfy the same biblical requirements expected of the parents.

  • 6

    Since God's promises and their respective conditions embrace the whole Christian community and because Christian education contributes to the advancement of God's kingdom, it is essential that parents and the Christian community establish and maintain Christian schools by praying for, working for, and giving generously to their support.

  • 7

    The purpose of Christian schools is to educate children for a life of obedience to their calling in the world as image-bearers of God. This calling is to understand God's revelation in His Word and His creation; to respond to His Word in faith and repentance; to consecrate the whole of human life to God; to love their fellow man; and to be stewards of their God-given evangelical and cultural tasks.

  • 8

    Christian schools must take into account the variety of abilities, needs and responsibilities of young persons; the endowment and calling of young persons as God's image-bearers; and the young persons' defects and inadequacies as sinners. This requires that such learning goals and curricula be selected as will best prepare them to live, by the grace of God, as obedient Christians.
