The Roadmap to Trinity
Step 01
Initial Inquiry
Reach out to our admissions office by submitting an inquiry to receive a digital packet and begin your family's conversation with Trinity.
Step 02
Private Tour
Parents must visit Trinity Christian School (TCS), preferably while the school is in session, in order to view and better understand the school's philosophy and operations. At this time an interview regarding admission will be held with the Head of School. Students should not visit the school on the initial visit with their parents. Arrangements can be made for students to visit after an application has been submitted.
Step 03
Apply
Upon invitation by the Head of School, a written application including a non-refundable fee is submitted to TCS.
Step 04
Assessment
Prospective students attend a grade-level assessment to ensure to detemine final grade-level or academic placement and assess whether remedial instruction may be required for admission.
If the prospective student is presently or has previously been in school, TCS will request and review appropriate school records.
If the prospective student is entering the grade 6 or above, an additional interview between the Head of School (or other administrative personnel) and student may be required.
Step 05
Family Interview
If the parents are not members of Trinity Baptist Church of Montville, or if a member for less than two years, two members of the Board of Trustees will conduct a home interview of both parents in order to:
-
Discuss the details of the application, especially Christian faith and testimony, and reasons they wish to place their child in Trinity Christian School.
-
Present plans, goals, and policies as well as the limitations of Trinity Christian School in order to foster valid rather than false expectations.
-
Become acquainted with the parents, assess whether home life is consistent with the profession of faith, and to assure that the child (or children) has a proper respect for authority.
Step 06
Pastoral Referral
Provide a signed recommendation form from your pastor as part of our commitment to a covenant school community.
Step 07
Admissions Decision
The Board of Trustees makes the final admissions decision regarding the applicant. The Head of School makes the final decision regarding academic placement after admission.
Step 08
Enrollment
There is a class capacity of 18 students per grade level. First priority for enrollment is given to current students through annual registration. After this, applications for new students will be considered.
Orientation
All new students in grade 2 and above must attend an orientation meeting with the Head of School or other school personnel before beginning school. A group orientation will be held on a date specified before the start of the academic year.
