Our devoted and notable faculty and staff are leaders in their field who share their knowledge and expertise with others at various professional development opportunities worldwide. Their dedication is demonstrated to our students, families, and communities both in and out of the classroom with a balance of academic rigor and wellness. Trinitys student body and families reflect the world as they travel from the greater Orlando area and across the nation to take part in the Trinity experience.
