Pawling, New York, USA All Boys, Episcopal
The goal of a Trinity-Pawling education is to unlock the potential for greatness that exists in each boy. The School pursues this goal through a vigorous learning environment that emphasizes 21st century skills such as innovation, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. A commitment to project-based and experiential learning acknowledges the research that has identified learning paradigms that prove to be successful for boys. A camaraderie of “brotherhood” is enhanced by the mutuality of a family of educators and students who are dedicated to building a culture of excellence and honor. The Trinity-Pawling learning experience combines a timeless commitment to character with a dedication to prepare young men for an ever-changing world. One of the School’s most distinctive attributes is its signatory Effort System, which began 45 years ago. Each boy at Trinity-Pawling is recognized and assessed in terms of the effort he devotes to a given endeavor: academics, athletics, dormitory responsibilities, civic engagement, attendance, and extracurricular programs. The learning objective inherent in this ethos of effort is to teach young people that the more they invest of themselves the greater their achievements will be. The Effort System, then, becomes a pervasive characteristic of a boy’s experience at Trinity-Pawling. Trinity-Pawling offers over 100 academic courses and 18 AP courses, interscholastic competition in 13 sports within the highly competitive New England Founders League, and a myriad of extracurricular activities.

We believe all great accomplishments begin with perseverance in the face of challenges. In the end, effort is how we measure ourselves, not only as students, but also as athletes, brothers, and school-citizens.Trinity-Pawling also offers an exceptional program for boys with language-based learning issues. The Language through Enrichment, Analysis and Development Program (LEAD) is vigorous and intense—we never simplify classroom content; we use the proven Orton-Gillingham Approach to make content accessible.

Our small classes allow teachers to develop individualized strategies based on each student’s specific needs.

Summary: All boys—we are 300 brothers strong.Trinity-Pawling is a boys' school not because single sex education is our mission, but rather, because single sex education helps us accomplish our mission. We want to provide an environment where boys are encouraged to push themselves and explore their talents in all phases of life on campus free from the pressures and distraction that are unavoidable in the context of a coed school.A few years ago, this approach to teaching was controversial. No longer. Today, expert after expert is acknowledging the fact that America's school culture puts boys at a disadvantage. Today, a growing chorus praises the unique opportunities boys' schools provide.We teach boys and stand by them as they develop into men. We achieve this goal by prodding, praising, cajoling, and exhorting. Our effort succeeds - with boys who are willing to accept this guidance and direction.There are countless opportunities for students to develop leadership skills at Trinity-Pawling. The community service program, clubs and activities, dormitories, and athletics are all venues for students to assume both official and unofficial positions of leadership. However, the most prominent and best loved leadership activity is the Senior Leadership Program. It is steeped in lore and tradition and is the highlight of many students' time at the school.

Summary: MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF COLLEGE PLACEMENT:I have the most enviable job at the school because I get to be part of the culmination of each student’s high school career. The college process is the student’s ultimate high school achievement. We are honored to help facilitate the college process and garner the best possible outcome for each student as he leaves high school and goes off to college.What makes this challenge so interesting is that each student comes with a unique set of variables (grades, test scores, activities, leadership roles) and has an individual set of needs, such as school size, location, academic departments and activities. I enjoy taking all these variables and formulating it into a working college list. With thousands of possible colleges, finding that perfect fit for each student keeps us always thinking, strategizing, and executing courses of action. Each college process is unique.Having now placed well over 700 students, I have yet to see two students with the exact same needs and goals. As a result, the college process is a highly personal thing. We hope to make that process run smoothly, on time, and garner a great outcome. We welcome the opportunity to work with each Trinity-Pawling family to make the process both enjoyable and rewarding. - Slade Mead Director of College Placement
