Trinity School is blessed to have a diverse student body. Families from many cultures have chosen Trinity for their child's education. The number of diverse students has grown over the past 10 years to 50%. This gives our students the advantage of learning about people from many backgrounds first hand. The study of various countries and cultures is also a part of the curriculum.
For Example, the fifth graders recently presented their projects on
India. Students were able to taste Indian food and see Indian clothing. There
was even an edible model of the Himalayas! The students researched an aspect of
Indian culture that they found interesting. Other topics included Mother
Teresa, geography, outsourcing, religion, music, and dance.
Saint Julie, foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, said "Teach the children what they need to know for life." The richness of cultures at Trinity School prepares the students for life in our Global Society.
