out in their daily life the life of faith . Each person on staff seeks to be ever more fully an authentic witness to the Gospel — there is nothing more important than this daily , personal witness of living the Faith in the true education of the whole person .
What is the next most important thing for Holy Trinity School ?
Once we have the most important element fully in place and informing all we do , then we can fully and truly educate young people . We form and lead young people to learn how to learn , to think for themselves , and to effectively communicate , especially in a public setting . We seek to inspire in our students a sense of wonder and a love for all that is beautiful , good , and true .
How does Holy Trinity inspire wonder in students , make them confi dent leaders , and teach them how to think for themselves ? We emphasize teaching methods that have stood the test of time . We are in the process of rediscovering some of the many treasures of the Catholic Tradition , especially the best of her educational traditions . We are rediscovering some of the elements that historically made Holy Trinity great in decades past . What is that ? It is a more traditional , classical educational approach .
What is a classical approach ? One way to express this approach is in the Trivium , the three classical stages of education . In the grammar stage , students learn and absorb the true , the good , and the beautiful . In the logic stage , students explore why these things are true , good , and beautiful . Finally , in the rhetorical stage , students learn how to persuasively communicate those realities . For many years , Holy Trinity School ’ s yearbook was entitled nothing other than “ Trivium .”
Holy Trinity is undergoing a rebirth , led by its new pastor , Father Matthew Weiring , and by its new principal , Anthony Biese . This rebirth is not so much a new thing as it is a rediscovery of the many forgotten treasures of Holy Trinity and the classical Catholic educational approach .
In the last generation , many educators around the United States have begun using this classical approach , in both religious and public schools , with astounding results . It is an approach embraced by Catholics , Christians , other faiths and even those with no faith tradition . Dying schools have become thriving in a short time . Students , parents , and teachers alike quickly fall in love with this educational approach — and it gets results . This approach is one of the best ways to foster a full fl owering of each person and to bring each student to their full academic and spiritual potential .
In short , Holy Trinity seeks to become the best school in the area . With your support and prayers , we will become just that .
