Children LEARN more in a place where they LEARN to LOVE LEARNING...

 HOLY TRINITY SCHOOL

See our Ad for the OPEN HOUSE scheduled for January 30, 31, & February 1 - 3, 2012

Operations 

Since its inception in 2000, Holy Trinity School has provided distinctive early childhood education with child-centered, developmentally appropriate learning activities in Language Arts, Math, Computer Literacy, Science, Cultural Awareness, Reading, Writing, Spanish, Art, Music/Movement, and Physical Fitness.  Classes offered include extended and half-day Preschool, Kindergarten, and First Grade. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 3:00pm. The school enrolls children of diverse racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds and operates under the guidelines of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. 

The school is housed in the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church facility, located in a private residential area near Lead Mine Road in Raleigh. In addition to a small enrollment of less than fifty students, the children enjoy the benefits of comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped classrooms with low student-teacher ratios. Our staff includes experienced and degreed elementary and early childhood education professionals. 

Curriculum

The curriculum is aligned with North Carolina Standard Course of Study For Kindergarten and embodies Foundations, the Early Learning Standards for North Carolina Preschoolers published by the North Carolina Department of Public Education.  While there are numerous guidelines published by independent organizations, most notably the NAEYC, Foundations is dedicated to North Carolina’s Preschoolers and draws upon the experience and knowledge of parents and a diverse group of early childhood professionals.    

Classroom Format

Our prevailing philosophy is that learning activities should be functional, stimulate thinking and creativity, promote social competency, involve choice, and instill a positive attitude toward learning.

Preschool

The classroom is divided into learning centers where a variety of hands-on materials and meaningful activities are available for the children. Centers are designed to meet specific academic goals and are both curriculum-oriented (math, science, writing, etc.) and theme-based (Fire Safety, Family, etc.). Students will routinely work in small groups to actively practice, apply, and extend skills and concepts introduced during circle or group time. During circle and group time, the teacher initiates discussions about various topics, special themes, or group projects. Children learn math, literacy, and social skills through singing, movement, games, show and tell, and story time. Emphasis is placed on helping the children learn how to follow directions, problem solving / predicting outcomes, and promoting listening skills and self-expression. At times, speakers will be invited to share a special skill or cultural tradition.

Elementary 

Kindergarten and First Grade are half-day programs that include instruction in Language and Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies, Spanish, Art, Music, and Physical Education. The classroom is organized around learning centers as well as teacher directed instruction. The curriculum is aligned with the Wake County Public School Standard Course of Study.  Children’s progress will be measured throughout the school year using a variety of assessment tools. WCPSS Assessments will also be administered to ensure that the children meet the proficiency standards established by WCPSS.
