“Trinity school of midland is a college preparatory community that offers an exceptionally enriched program providing children beginning in preschool and going through twelfth grade with experiences in the visual and performing arts, foreign language, physical education, and technology in addition to a solid core of academic courses. Furthermore, because the school encompasses pre-kindergarten through grade twelve, we enjoy the opportunity to construct and coordinate a developmentally coherent academic program. Trinity school is dedicated to upholding exemplary academic, ethical, and behavioral standards for all its students. We want our students to know the value of giving their best effort and to experience the power of knowledge. We want them to learn that honesty is intrinisically worthwhile. We want them to understand that their individual behavior affects those around them, and we want them to develop a healthy spiritual life.being a college preparatory school means expecting our students to be both academically and individually ready for success at selective colleges and universities throughout the country. To this objective, our faculty applies a high level of scholarship and an extraordinary commitment to teaching and to appreciating the individual student.in addition to the school's academic program, trinity operates the rhonda g. Durham children's enrichment center (cec), which is fully licensed by the state of texas and offers an extended day program and a two-year old program for trinity school families. Children enrolled in the school's three-year old and four-year old half-day classes may also enroll in the cec for additional hours of teaching. The primary goal of the center is to contribute to the development of the total child, with special attention being placed on physical, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual growth. The spacious cec facility provides a safe and nurturing learning environment with sequential, creative age-appropriate educational experiences for all children.the curriculum of the trinity school cec is a compliment to the montessori-based curriculum taught in the trinity school preschool. Because of the continuity between programs, children are able to move from one program to the other without interruption in theory, practice, or expectations. Along with montessori activities, the cec also offers movement between centers and includes a daily art/craft project. Children who arrive at the cec from lower school will be provided a quiet, supervised location in order to concentrate on homework after a transition from classes.”
