To assist parents in their endeavor to produce:
- Graduating students who have a desire to
carry out God's vocation for their lives
heartily for His glory and not man's.
(Col. 3:23, I Cor. 10:31, I Cor. 1:30-31,
Isaiah 43:7)
- Graduating students who know the tenets
of their faith, understand why the believe
what they believe and are able to defend and
share their faith with others.
(2 Tim. 1:12, I Pet. 3:15, Col. 4:6, Prov.
22:20-21, 15:28)
- Graduating students that understand that
every aspect of creation, knowledge and
their lives is tied to God, the Creator,
Sustainer, and Controller of the Universe.
(Job 38-39, Rom. 11:36, Isaiah 43:7, Ps.
33:6-11, 19:1)
- Create an environment that is conductive
to attaining these goals through Biblical
patterns and methods of discipline.
The education your child will receive at Trinity
Christian Academy is a classical education.
In the Grammar School we emphasize the
accumulation of the basic facts of subject.
In the Dialectic School we seek to mold the
child's natural questioning tendency into the
ability to sift information accurately through
courses in formal logic.
Disciplined self expression is the goal of the
Rhetoric School. A student is trained to
compare and contrast the information to which
they are exposed and to formulate, through
appropriate expression, their own thoughtful
response.
The three parts of the Trivium-Grammar,
Dialectic, and Rhetoric, correspond well to the
natural educational bent of the children at the
various ages. Children in the Grammar
school love to memorize through the use of
chanting and other creative activities. As
students mature, they become more argumentative.
In Trinity's Dialectic School we seek to harness
this natural tendency and provide students with
the tools to think through the information they
have and come to conclusions based on truth.
The dramatic nature of the older teens is
channeled toward disciplined expression in the
Rhetoric School. The Rhetoric School is
that arm of the Trinity experience where
students are trained to present the conclusions
they have come to based on interaction with the
information available plus the formal training
in logic. The culminating purpose is to
produce a person who is equipped with the
motivation and tools to be a life long learner.
