INSPIRATION
Dostoyevsky
“Beauty Will Save the World.”
At Trinity Academy we believe in the importance of forming children with an appreciation for art and beauty. Beginning with our beautiful 10 acre campus, students play soccer, field hockey and run cross country daily. They also skip rope, play hop scotch, and run relays during Lower School recess. During warmer months, students often ask to take walks with their teachers through our beautiful campus. They gather leaves, talk with one another, and form friendships. Our classrooms are device free at every level and cellphones are not allowed. Unplugging from social media and plugging into the natural world is restorative and nurturing for our students.

Robert Frost
Trinity Academy is the "Road Not Taken."
In his poem Frost urges us to take "the road less traveled by" as ... "that has made all the difference."
The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and II took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
