All of Trinity’s IB trained teachers instruct college prep courses, incorporating IB instructional techniques and learning methods, that gives the Trinity College Prep Program a competitive edge.

College Prep and IB Collaboration

Trading ideas, tackling problems while partnering together both College Prep and IB students raise the level of discourse across the board for all students.  This collaborative effort builds a solid academic foundation for all students.

Single Gender Environment

A single-gender environment fosters self-esteem, which plays an integral role in educational success.  Trinity teachers understand the distinct learning styles of girls and use educational strategies that ensure optimal learning.
