Holy Trinity School

Holy Trinity School is a PreK to 12th-grade school in Winsted , MN , with a proud tradition dating back to 1883 . We offer an authentically Catholic education , which seeks to fully prepare students for their Godgiven vocation in life , and , ultimately , to prepare them for their eternal vocation of union with God and His family in heaven . Therefore , we educate the whole person and seek to attain true academic excellence . We also provide robust opportunities for students to grow in virtue , to participate in athletics and the fi ne arts , and to become strong and confi dent leaders who fi nd their fulfi llment in serving others .
The fi rst question many people may ask when considering Holy Trinity School is : “ Can I afford it ?” Others assume , “ I bet I cannot afford it .” Or “ I know I won ’ t be able to afford it .”
We never want to let fi nances get in the way of any student receiving the best education around . We offer need-based fi nancial aid . What does that mean ? In short , it means that families are paying what they can afford .
What is the process for receiving fi nancial aid ? After applying to Holy Trinity School , the parent fi lls out a fi nancial aid application through a third party company called TADS . This information from TADS comes to the school , and the school ’ s fi nancial aid committee reviews the application and provides a fi nancial aid award letter to the applicant .
At times , the amount awarded does not work for the family , but through continued conversation and explanation of a family ’ s need , the committee and the family can come to a solution that works for both parties . Holy Trinity expects families receiving fi nancial aid to be making a fi nancial sacrifi ce to send their children to Holy Trinity ; however , we expect it to be a doable sacrifi ce .
So , can you afford Holy Trinity School ? For the vast majority , the answer is a resounding “ Yes !”
What is most important to Holy Trinity School ? The most important thing for us as a school is to provide and promote an authentic Catholic environment and culture . Our Catholic Faith is the fi rst and most essential reality of who we are . It defi nes and inspires all that we do .
Do you accept non-Catholics ? Yes , of course . All are welcome to Holy Trinity School . As long as a family is supportive of the mission of the school , we welcome students of all or no faith tradition . We still expect all students to be with us as we study and pray . We have daily Catholic religion classes , daily prayers and a weekly Mass . We also offer all students a weekly opportunity to go to Confession on campus .
Our goal is to teach the Catholic Faith in an authentic way that invites students to more fully devote themselves and respond in love to the Catholic Faith , to God , and to their neighbor . This can only be done by a staff that is in love with Our Lord and living
