Providing a world-class education to its students with rigorous academics and outstanding programs in athletics, the arts, public service, and global travel.
While Trinity is best known for its intellectual vitality, we promise so much more: a balanced educational program for body and mind, heart and soul, incorporating the arts, athletics, and community service; a chapel program that calls students not only to grow into their best selves, but also to reach out beyond themselves to address needs and realities greater than themselves.
“Being right in the middle of New York City allows us to expand from micro to macro. We see the world up close, and get to truly practice global citizenship.”
