Trinity College School
Overview

Established in 1865 TCS is built on the strength of three pillars: our people our programme and our place. We recognize that learning and preparation for the future occur not only in the classroom but within the context of our co-curricular and residential programmes as well. Our mission at Trinity College School is to develop habits of the heart and mind for a life of purpose and service.




Academics
Summary: Our purpose is to foster independence, responsibility and understanding in matters of physical and emotional health, learning and educational planning. Two themes are consistent when speaking with past and present students about their experience at TCS: the extent to which students are educated by their experience as a whole, and the unique sense of community at the School. Academic and student support continues these traditions of learning.

Student Life
The style and character of TCS have been shaped largely by its students and staff over the last 140 years. Throughout our campus, the names of illustrious graduates and teachers appear on many of our buildings and awards. The stories of these men and women constantly remind us of our unique way of life, which we pass on to a new generation of students each year. While we appreciate TCS's heritage, we also recognize the importance of balancing traditions with open inquiry and a keen eye towards the future.
