Hoping OP can update us on HT? I am interested in the school for my children - one daughter and one son. Thank you in advance!

Any updates, PP?

Yes he will be attending the Pre K program. I hope all goes well.

Will your son be attending?

Thanks this helps a lot. Our son got accepted I want to know some of the feedback. Because I didn't have any parents my son ( PK program) age attending their school.

Three of my kids attended Holy Trinity from K-8th grade, and we were very happy with the school--more so when Peggy Reiber was in charge, but we still found it worthwhile after she left. To this day, my college-aged son returns to HTS every now and then to reconnect with beloved teachers. That speaks volumes to me about the quality of the program.

My kids are in the middle school at Holy Trinity, having started there in kindergarten. And I agree with you that what they learn is developmentally appropriate. I appreciate Holy Trinity for this approach. Many schools seem to want to force concepts that kids are not ready to grasp, for the sake of saying they have an advanced curriculum.

I also find that there is a tremendous leveling effect that occurs. Many kids who are a product of this early literacy push initially seem brilliant as compared to their peers, but eventually they are on the same plane as those kids who weren't pushed. Among my public school friends, it seems like the kids whose parents really pushed them to read early did well on the TAG tests, then the kids who didn't, but were equally bright, made TAG in the third grade when they were retested. They had essentially "caught up" and in some cases, surpassed those who hadn't.

Kids in many Northern European countries learn to read much later than American children, however, they outperform our kids in the end.

Many area Christian schools seem to really stress how rigorous their curriculum is, but it just doesn't make sense. Putting a pencil in a two year old's hand, when they should be finger painting and other age appropriate stuff, for example. I had my kids in a christian preschool in the county and the teacher had our kids scared to death to color outside the lines as 3-year-olds and other similar nonsense. It all seemed very ignorant to me. Needless to say, we were out there.

I think that's true about the contract, but I've never tried to back out, so can't say for sure. Everyone's experiences are different. But it's been fantastic for our kids.

I have heard that it is a really good school. The only con that I have heard about the school is that there is a contract In which once you sign you must pay full tuition. Also there is not a lot of financial aid but some. Other than that I have heard great things.

I believe they award financial aid based on need, rather than merit-based aid. My kids are there. We are very pleased and my kids are happy despite the homework.

Any Thoughts of the school. I've heard good things so far. Are their any scholarships?
