Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne

Posted: December 2, 2025

Our familys experience with this school was disappointing. As a new student, our child struggled to feel included, and the environment often felt very cliquish among students, teachers, and some administrative staff.
The most concerning part was a serious incident in which another student crossed our childs personal boundaries. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the administration did not handle it appropriately, and the student responsible, who had been at the school for many years, was not held accountable.
There were a few kind families, but overall we felt unsupported, unheard, and unsafe. Families who start their children at the school very young might have a different experience, but coming in as an older student was not positive for us. I hope the school has improved, but this was our experience.

If you are looking for a woke, Liberal private school with quite good academics, HT may be a good fit. College placement is likely as good as it gets, as is the education to get one there. If you want a more Conservative Christian environment to go alongside the academics, look elsewhere...this indeed is a VERY Liberal institution. Gay agenda is acceptable as biblical doctrine, any opposition will be punished..."feel good" is the theme but true biblical values have never likely entered the building! We would still likely have sent our kids there but they should be honest about what they, Liberalism is prevalent everywhere!

My kids attend the Upper School and we have been very impressed by the quality of the faculty, school facilities, and students. They balance academics with extracurricular really nicely and have high expectations for the students all around.

All three of my children graduated from Holy Trinity. My youngest went from Pre-k3 through 12th grade. They received an outstanding education, and each one earned significant college scholarships. HT is full of caring, extremely competent faculty. They have an amazing college counseling team that provides exceptional guidance to students and parents, starting at an early age. If we had to do it again, we would absolutely select Holy Trinity.

This school's main interest is economic. My experience was short but unpleasant and costly. Read carefully the contract and all documents they provide before signing and enrolling your child. Contract is full of errors and omissions that will only affect you. They talk about teaching Christian values to the children but when it comes to money, that is all forgotten. They answer by threatening with their legal team and will stop at nothing for money; money they have not earned and do not deserve. They talk about respect for one's neighbors in their core values, however they don't care to listen to you, won't answer your questions, won't admit or fix their errors, won't consider your situation or care about how your family is affected. A school that lacks empathy and respect for others, that turns a blind eye to the errors in the system, that disregards parents' voices, and were communication only exists if it benefits them, will never be a good option for your child.

Beware of the recent sharp left turn in the curriculum with integration of Critical Race Theory in the curriculum. School chooses coursework that teaches students that riots and demonstrations against police are acceptable. This is not a true Christian school when intoxicated students are accepted to attend school functions and teachers speak in class about the back seat of a car can be used for making out. Multiple families were not allowed reenrollment after voicing curriculum and faculty concerns. School admits students with known juvenile criminal records if the student is a strong athlete. Safety for the female students is a concern.

Save yourself $20K and go to a public school or research other private schools. Holy Trinity is not so holy.

We are a military family who moved to Patrick SFB in December 2020. Our son enrolled mid-school-year which wasn't easy for him, but he was warmly welcomed by HT. He received a student ambassador who made sure he knew where all of his classes were located and sat with him at lunch. He's just completed his second school year at HT and has bonded with friends and staff. I cannot say enough about Dr. Cobb, Alison Bell, Emily Totre, Marc Bailey, and all of the teachers at HT who are responsive to both students and parents. There are opportunities for students to volunteer and as a parent, I have enjoyed volunteering as well as substitute teaching at the lower school down in Melbourne. I tell other inbound military families to consider enrolling their school-aged children at HT. It's free to take a tour of the campuses and see what we are all raving about! Go Tigers!!

Choosing Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy for Junior High for my son was one of the best decisions my husband and I have made. He has been challenged and engaged academically all year long and has met new friends. I cant sing enough praise for the teachers and advisors responsiveness when we have questions or have needed help. We especially LOVE Mr. Wilson, he has been so encouraging to my son and helpful to our family. Holy Trinity is great place for kids to grown and find themselves. My son is involved in the Robotics program and has really blossomed with the encouragement of working alongside High School and other Junior High students.

My son attended another private school in the area for Elementary and we never felt that he was truly challenged to his full potential. This year he has had the opportunity to take High School level math and all Advanced classes and has done well! Holy Trinity has helped enhanced his confidence and knowledge base.

Holy Trinity has been such a blessing to our family. Our children have loved attending school at the lower school, and are both looking forward to attending school at the upper school.
The teachers, administration, guidance, and all of the staff encourage and foster a loving community for both the children and their families.

All three of our children attended and thrived at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. Our older son has an MBA, is happily married with their first child and wants to give the same HTEA experience and sense of community to his son. Our twins are in their final college semester. Our son has accepted an IT manager position, and our daughter is getting ready to start medical school this summer. Heres an excerpt from her medical school journey blog, Having gone to a small private school my entire life, I loved the more individualized attention and ability to form close professional relationships with faculty and staff.

I can't say enough awesome things about Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy.. My daughter is thriving in 7th grade, the past 4 years have been wonderful. The curriculum is challenging, the teachers are proactive and helpful. The communication from the teachers and staff is amazing. We always know what is going on, in each class, in the grade level and campus wide. The classes are small, there is before and after school help, the resources and technology are on point! The teachers have done a tremendous job in this difficult time, pivoting between in class students and online students. There are so many opportunities for after school enrichment, the arts, sports, clubs and other activities. If you have ever wondered about HT, I highly recommend scheduling a tour. Enrolling at HT was the best decision we have ever made. Go Tigers!

A focus on the whole child is what you will find at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy. HT helps each child build their academics, character, community service, leadership, moral compass, athletics, and prepares each child for college and for life! The teachers and staff achieve this through instruction, compassion, hands on learning, daily chapel, empathy and love. Sending our children to HT was one of the best decisions for our children we ever made! We chose not only to send them to school, but to put them into an environment that would help us create the good people we wanted our children to become.

I love this school. Our daughters were both lifers, and the school helped shape them into the amazing young women they are today. Mind, body, spirit is a mantra that the community lives into every day. The school is not for everyone. Students, faculty and staff need to want to be a part of a community that promotes hard work and living into potential. Its a very safe and comfortable place for those who want to be a part of something special.

Holy Trinity has been a great fit and the right academic choice for both our sons. We wanted a "bubble" that was not too small, not too big, challenging, inspiring while loving and kind ... My husband and I both grew up in the midwest. My early childhood education was within a catholic private school while my husband was in the public school system. The christian private school environment, the well rounded education including a "mind, body, spirit" comprehensive approach and the size of the student body checked all our boxes when we were looking for the perfect academic home to enroll our kids. We liked the separate campuses of a lower school (up to 6th gr) and an upper school (Jr and Sr high) and we appreciated seeing how long several teachers and faculty had been at HT as well as a handful of alumni students who returned to their alma mater to work and send their kids to HT. This had to be a happy home right? And many years later, we can say YES - HT has and continues to be a happy home for our family.

Our boys began at the lower school in Kindergarten and are now at the upper school in 9th and 11th grade. When our boys were old enough to discuss their opinion about where to go to school, they always said yes to re-enrolling at HT. Which reassures us that our decision was the correct one.

This past 2020 year, the pivot to remote learning has continued to meet the academic needs of our boys. They have adjusted well with the virtual platform and they have remained connected to their friends in creative and traditional ways. Both have been and continue to be very active in school activities, especially school sports. I can name several teachers and coaches that have made (and continue to make) a tremendous impact in their lives.

Choosing a school took many hours of discernment - and I also found that the admissions team at HT spent the same if not more number of hours making sure the school was the right fit for each of our boys. Its obviously not one size fits all - and requires both sides to look at what is best for the child. However, in our case - HT was the right home at Kindergarten and continues to be the right home today (over 12 years later).

Our son and daughter are enrolled in the Lower School and we absolutely love this school! The teachers are caring and engaging and our kids love going to school. We recently moved from out of state and my biggest concern was my kids being able to adjust to a new school, and now, after a year and half here, my kids would not want to leave Holy Trinity. We love that the class sizes are small and the teacher/parent communication is great.

Having 2 children attending Holy Trinity Academy, one currently in the upper school and one in the lower school, my family has been given the great opportunity to evaluate all aspects of this school. From the school's response to the Covid-19 health crisis, to the physical safety of the student, and to the education of the students mind, body and spirit, we have nothing but high praise.

In response to the Covid-19 health crisis, Holy Trinity developed a Safety and Health Guidelines to minimize the potential risk to the children. These safety measures included a Covid tracking app for temperature recording; mask-wearing protocol, hand sanitizers throughout; high touch areas sanitized throughout the day, new webcams and microphones for the remote learners making them a part of the actual classroom, as well as many other precautions.

Both the upper and lower school also offer excellent physical security, from on-site deputies to onsite nursing care, it is evident that Holy Trinity truly values the safety of each student.

The curriculum at Holy Trinity offers each student strong college prep academics, many AP classes, tons of electives, a wide variety of athletic offerings with well-coached sports teams, and their chapel/character education program exemplifies how the faculty and administration cares for the whole child. Holy Trinity also offers many leadership opportunities for students.

The school is small enough for students and faculty to all know one another, building lifelong friendships, and small enough to allow students to focus on the challenging curriculum that private schools are known for. This school maintains high standards and expectations which will help them to easily transition into college.

Teachers at Holy Trinity engage and teach with passion and love for their subjects. The Administration and College Counseling office advisors are very helpful to the student and to the students family. Holy Trinity is an all-around great community that welcomes students and their families.

Students attending Holy Trinity grow to appreciate their value to themselves, their community and their future. Holy Trinity has this slogan, "start here go anywhere", and they live up to that expectation completely.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy is truly an extension of my family.
The teachers go above and beyond to make sure each student has an understanding of what is being taught and will even take the time to explain the subject if there is a student who isn't understanding fully. Each teacher has the passion and love to teach, they want to teach and they want to be there to make sure each student excels in their dreams and goals.
The students and my daughters'' classmates are respectful and kind. Each one knows how they want to be treated and treat each classmate that way. In the event that there is an issue it gets worked out with communication and teamwork to compromise.
The academics is spot on. My daughters are challenged enough where they ask questions but will get the answer after talking it out with us, teachers or even classmates. I truly love the history lessons and how one teacher will make learning like scene from a movie. He will assign each student a part in the history lesson and each student is encouraged to act the part. It makes learning a lot more fun and entertaining.
Sports at each campus is fun and there is a lot to experience. My youngest daughter is not very athletic but she was able to explore different sports to see if it was something that would interest her. My oldest daughter is involved in multiple sports at the upper campus and the coaching and skills that she has developed is going to be with her into her professional life weather it be in sports or not.

HTEA is a school I do not worry about my girls. When they go to school I know they are being treated fairly, learning and having a great time doing it. HTEA is my family and will be my family for years to come and even after both my girls graduate.

Our first year at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy is going GREAT, we cant imagine any better learning environment for our daughter. The curriculum is excellent and taught by professional Teachers who truly care about our daughters success. Everyone is so kind and easy to be with, all the students are forward looking with bright futures.

Holy Trinity educates the whole child: mind, body, and spirit. My children start the day in chapel and end the day playing HT sports. They receive a rigorous education from caring and loving teachers. They all go out of their way to make them feel safe, loved, and valued. I can't say enough positive positive things about the faculty, staff, and administration. When you walk on campus, you become family I am proud to be a part of the HT family.

Our daughter has attended multiple schools, both public and private, in different parts of the country. By far, our experience at Holy Trinity has been the best. Due to the small environment, students receive personalized attention both academically and in extra curricular activities. The teachers make themselves available to help students at all times. As a parent, when entering the campus, you feel like part of a family and community. Initially, we met other parents who were so welcoming, helpful, and shared similar values. We feel confident that our daughter will be ready for college and will have a wonderful high school experience. Our family would highly recommend Holy Trinity!!

HT is just mean! The way students treat each other, teachers and staff is disgusting. If they make another Mean Girls movie - base it at ht!

Posted: November 23, 2018

Hate it. 6 more months. I can do it.

Posted: November 23, 2018

Cant disagree more. Episcopal in name only. Our newest chaplain is a Presbyterian who graduated from Jerry Falwells Liberty University - hardly a model for tolerance. But then again neither is ht.

Posted: November 23, 2018

They are not respected by majority of students and change every couple of years. One constant - they always favor wealthy connected families.

Posted: October 11, 2018

STRONGLY AGREE: This school effectively supports students with learning differences.
Through the gifted education classes, teachers are taught how to differentiate lessons for students of varying abilities and learning styles.

Posted: October 11, 2018

STRONGLY AGREE: This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect.
The Character Education program provides students with the tools to navigate the world with positive, self-affirming behavior and values.

Posted: October 11, 2018

I cannot imagine teaching anywhere else. I have the respect, kindness and support of administration, parents and students. I love being part of the HT family!

Posted: October 11, 2018

Teachers are given lots of opportunities for professional development. Teachers at the Lower School level all either have or are pursuing an endorsement in gifted education.

Posted: October 11, 2018

My son has been a student of HTEA since Kindergarten and is now in 9th Grade. We have had nothing but a wonderful experience in all aspects of his education & growing experience.

My two started in preschool and now my oldest is going to college next year. We know her years at Holy Trinity have prepared her for whatever major she wants. Great school!

Posted: August 19, 2017

I loved ht until I got to the upper school. Academics are ok but I felt more challenged at the lower school than now. Too many intolerant classmates and admin / teachers who look the other way. There is a big problem with drugs and alcohol at ht. At prom and homecoming most students can't wait to leave the dance so they can hit the after parties. I'll be ready for college but most of my classmates don't seem ready.

Posted: August 19, 2017

Homework is often pointless busy work. It does help your grade though.

Too much turnover in administration; too much favoritism

At Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, students benefit from the continuity of an academically challenging, college preparatory curriculum that spans preschool through 12th grade. Founded and sustained in the Episcopal tradition, the schools environment reflects the joy and peace of Christian values, with an emphasis on educating the whole child mind, body and spirit. Students who "Start Here" build a strong foundation of skills and are prepared to "Go Anywhere" in college, career and life.

Our daughter transferred there this past year. She was doing fine at her old school, but needed help with math and was off the charts in english. So we decided to give HTEA a try. It was a great year. Her seventh grade math teacher has made her confident in math and she was also able to take accelerated english and sciences class. She is now so eager to learn and earned the straight As thru the entire year. She also got a chance to play softball on the varsity high school team and perform in two performances this year. She is not a genius. She works hard, but she knows her amazing teachers at HTEA are supportive. She knows they truly care about her. As a parent I am so excited to see her passion for learning. My husband was worried about the transition, especially in middle school. But Our daughter is happy, has made friends and is more confident about trying new things. HTEA was the Best decision we made for her.

Posted: June 9, 2017

My husband and I were split about Holy Trinity. He wanted (understatement - I have never seen him so upset) to send her to a good school of choice public school for 7th grade (Edgewood); I didn't. She was waitlisted at Edgewood, so she went to Holy Trinity with the thought that she would reapply to Edgewood. That was two years ago, and we have liked it so much we stayed. Have had no problems with other students, teachers or administration, and the academics are top notch. If you are not doing well in a particular subject, they will provide you with help/extra tutoring until you are doing well. The teachers seem genuinely interested in the students learning! Lots of opportunities to join clubs or sports.

Posted: June 9, 2017

Sending our children to school at HTEA is the best parenting decision that we have ever made. We have an 11th grader and a 7th grader. Both children started when they were 3 years old. We have a girl and a boy. Our children have very different personalities. The educational development, character development, and physical development at Holy Trinity is exceptional!!! The school is a community. We are so thrilled that our 17 year old made it off of the wait list and into the classroom all of those years ago!

Posted: June 9, 2017

Character is taught at every age through age appropriate means. A friend once told me that she picked HTEA for her children because all of the nicest and most polite children from the youth group at her church went to HTEA.

Posted: June 9, 2017

The school accepts students of average or above average intelligence. If a student meets this criteria, I have seen the school go to great lengths to work with students and families.

Posted: June 9, 2017

The leadership knows the children. The leadership is consistently growing and changing with new educational demands. They work to develop all aspects of the students.

Posted: June 9, 2017

Character education is addressed throughout all of the grades at age appropriate levels. The children who attend HTEA standout in our community.

Posted: June 9, 2017

The teachers at HTEA are superb!!! They truly care about their subjects and the children.

Posted: June 9, 2017

My oldest had a bulling problem and the school immediately addressed it. The offender was given one more opportunity or she would be suspended. Nothing ever happened again and the school followed up with me multiple times to make sure my daughter was happy.

Posted: June 9, 2017

The lower school has several teachers who are devoted full time to helping kids in math and English.

Posted: June 9, 2017

Character is central to the teaching at the school. Both kids respect adults and their peers

Posted: June 9, 2017

Perfect amount to verify child understands concepts, but not busy work.

Posted: June 9, 2017

I have an 11amd 5 grader. Been at the school since the older one was in kindergarten. Excellent experience. Loving teachers. Challenging curriculum. Lower school has so much to offer with hands on science experiments, dedicated STEAM class, dedicated coding class, amazing art and music every week and PE every day. Homework has been the perfect amount to verify the kid understands to concepts, but isn't busy work. Upper school has wonderful teachers and lots of AP classes. We met with our college advisor this summer and I am so impressed with their knowledge and drive to find the perfect college for our daughter.

A few really good ones, but few and far between

Posted: May 22, 2017

There really wasn't much homework for my kids, they loved that but it did not serve them well as students. What homework they did get was basically busy work - with little real value or relevance

Posted: May 22, 2017

Basically an average public school with chapel tacked on so they can pretend to be a Christian school. Mediocre teachers, poor / transient administration. There are much better schools in Brevard - public and private. You owe it to your kids to keep looking.

Posted: May 21, 2017

Students that bully are asked to leave. Period.

Posted: May 21, 2017

I wish they had a student services office, but they do not. They do support students though as much as possible.

Posted: May 21, 2017

The school expects the best of the students and hold them accountable.

Posted: May 21, 2017

The teachers are caring and extremely proficient at their subject matter.

Posted: May 21, 2017

My daughter just graduated from this hidden gem in Melbourne, FL. Having attended Boston private schools in my own life, my bar is high for excellence in academics. HTEA has that with outstanding teachers. What it also has is a student centered, supportive environment that I am grateful for. My daughter flourished there taking AP classes, competing in state choral competitions and performing at Disney, playing (undefeated) volleyball freshman year, attending Model UN at UF, and so much more. Anything your child may be interested in is here at HT among caring teachers and with lived spiritual core values. My daughter is off to a "little ivy" small liberal arts college in the Northeast. Her future is bright and I couldn't be more grateful to Holy Trinity.

Posted: March 9, 2017

Holy Trinity is mediocre when compared to the public schools beach side and in Viera. The academics are soft, students are not challenged. The extra enrichments are average with the exception of Art and PE. If your child is average or above average then Holy Trinity is not for you. Save your money.

Posted: March 9, 2017

Homework is completed in class, so it's technically not homework.

Posted: February 1, 2017

We are a new family at the Lower School this year. My child has been challenged academically and is loving it. He also loves being able to play after school sports and join different clubs. We are so glad we made the choice to enroll him at Holy Trinity this year.

Posted: January 25, 2017

Students get the whole picture at Holy Trinity -- great academics and preparation for college, but also, lots of options for sports, clubs, leadership and service. Kids can dive into science, math and tech while still participating in sports and the arts. HT is preparing kids to be well-rounded citizens of the world!

Posted: December 13, 2016

We have been a part of this school since my children were in preschool. We are so proud of the education they have received to date. They have a strong academic foundation, but are also involved in clubs and sports. My children are happy and safe at school. We have been blessed to be able to give them the gift of a fabulous education!

I'm amazed that a positive review gets one like and a negative review gets 7 or 11! And the start rating is a high four, (should be a 5). I'm a super happy parent and am totally behind the current administration and teaching staff. I trust them to hire the best teachers and if they let someone go, I have absolutely no doubt that the decision wasn't taken lightly, and is in the best interests of the students. The academic standards are top notch, as are the athletics, arts, science and technology. It's a true college preparatory education. Reading any review, you will believe what you want to believe; and if a less than stellar review leads you to choose a different school for your student, believe me, the loss will be yours. Beware the internet and as another reviewer suggests, tour the school, look at the results, speak to students and above all, trust your gut. Mine said this was a solid pick and I couldn't be more impressed.

Posted: January 8, 2015

HTEA is a wonderful academic establishment. The teachers are caring, the students are kind and respectful and the administration is always available for the parents. The firing of a beloved coach has caused a rift between some of the parents and the administration. Honestly, if your student isn't a part of that particular sport, his not being there doesn't effect how one feels about the school. (side note: there was no explanation for the firing, many rumors have spread, but it was a decision made by a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, not the administration, which tells you something). Many AP courses are offered and the college counseling office is top notch. No school is perfect, but HTEA is a wonderful, academically challenging and caring environment for students.

Holy Trinity is sadly a rapidly deteriorating institution What once was a top academic , Christian academy , the recent events have divided the school . Poor leadership , newly hired with no previous headmaster experience has left the school floundering . Precious resources are being funneled to a public relation firm to combat parent dislikes . This school refuses to listen to it's customers and will only continue to raise tuition and weaken their academics until the leadership wakes up and deals with the truths. Beware the slick advertising and ask around . Find parents who are enduring this demise !

Posted: December 8, 2014

Holy Trinity has in the past been an excellent school for academics and sports, providing a safe and positive learning environment. Sadly, the new administration has acted in manipulative and underhanded ways, compromising the core values on which this school was founded. Their actions are having severe negative effects on students, staff and parents. As expensive as this school is, you will not be getting your moneys worth by placing your child here.

Posted: December 1, 2014

My daughter is in junior high at the Upper School and started out in Early Childhood at the Lower School. She has flourished with all of the opportunities given to her. Her teachers are willing to put in extra time if she needs extra help. She has played two sports and been in photography club and gotten to know her teachers and coaches outside of the regular day. She also enjoys volunteering at summer camp with our younger students. This is her home away from home!

Posted: November 27, 2014

Many of us are what we at HTA consider "lifers", and we are so saddened to watch the slow demise of such a great establishment. The new leadership has failed our community, in part, due to not understanding that this place is our home. We pray that this dark era will pass soon.

Posted: April 13, 2014

Great school - outstanding academics with strong focus on STEM, Arts and Music. Athletic program provides opportunities for all kids to get involved and many go off to play sports in college.

Posted: April 13, 2014

This school is not worth the tuition they charge. Some of their teachers are not caring and their staff are money bigots.Education is below public school standards. I would not recommend this school to my friends.

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy in Melbourne, FL is a wonderful school (ps-12th grade). They are known for their challenging academics, caring teachers, wide variety of extracurricular activities, and small class sizes. My daughter is in Kindergarten and has attended since preschool. It's a big investment financially but it is well worth it for our family. I honestly believe my daughter would not have the same opportunities or be treated with as much sincere love and care elsewhere. She loves going to school every day!

Posted: March 22, 2014

Love this school. Was an easy transition from public grade school to upper school. We were so thrilled with the teachers and communication. Is an expensive school, but worth the comfort of communication on a daily basis. And a happy middle school child.

Posted: March 11, 2014

Our children have attended HT's lower school for 4 years, and we are thrilled by the growth we've seen in them during this time. The academics are advanced with a rich curriculum including Singapore math, hands on science, dynamic music and art programs, Chinese, Library, computer sciences including programming, STEM lab, PE everyday and more. All of this is offered in a Christian environment where character education is a priority. The teaching staff is warm, bright, dynamic, and simply wonderful! We have found both the teacher and administration to be caring, open, and accessible. In addition, HT has an impressive offering of extracurricular activities that has something for everyone. Our children have participated in sports that they otherwise would not have given a chance. As a result, they have developed skills, confidence, and friendships along the way. We believe that HT truly teaches the whole child: mind, body, and soul. Brevard County has some of the best schools in the state, and we toured several of them in area. The decision to send our children to HT was based on the well-rounded approach to education described above. This is absolutely the right school for us.

I went to Holy Trinity from pre-kindergarten until 9th grade when I transferred to Viera. I was also at Suntree Elementary for a short while. I can say with complete honesty that the quality of education is no different from any public school. The only difference (aside from thousands of dollars in tuition) is that Holy Trinity makes you wear a uniform and has 15 minutes of chapel each day. Some of the teachers were good but the faculty was just awful when it comes to playing favorites and singling kids out. I am not up to date on the lawfulness of recruiting athletes, but because Holy Trinity has a waiting list for prospective students (or at least they did when I went there), they tend to accept more African Americans. Going from 6th to 7th grade, my class went from having no black students to having upwards of 20, almost all of whom were on sports teams. Do your child a favor and don't waste your money. There are schools in the area with the same (if not better) quality of education that won't cost you tens of thousands of dollars in tuition.

Holy Trinity is an amazing school. I have two children at the Lower School. They both started in preschool. The school offers so many opportunities for educational, social, and emotional growth. I love the character education program at the school. It teaches them how to be the best they can be. It also offers many extra activities, sports, and clubs before and after school. Just recently my child began learning "Scratch". It is a computer coding program. She is also learning how to make movies on the iPad. It is amazing what they come home and teach me. My children love going to school and are always so excited to share their day when they come home. I have found all the teachers to be loving, caring, and open with communication. I love being a part of the Holy Trinity family.

Good school but favoritism of staff kids is legendary...down to a "others need not apply" rule regarding any school production/activity. Parents do complain but with futile results. I do believe they keep many students (and their parents) enrolled simply due to the economy. They are rather ineffective in dealing with socially troubled kids (once again, and their parents) in that you will see these parents at the school "shadowing" their children as often as they can. Daily lunch with Mommy and Daddy continues even into the 6th grade! I suppose I have been rather harsh in my comments but these items have caused quite an uproar among many parents. We still think it's the best school in the county, but these concerns are very troubling for many of us!

We are a Holy Trinity family with our son currently in the Lower School. He started 8 years ago when he was three and as parents we feel it was the best decision we did for him. The school has a rigorous curriculum with a low student to faculty ratio, very successful programs of extra-curricular activities such as chess, boy/girl-scouts and many athletic activities. Most importantly though, Holy Trinity share the vision of an academic community based on the love of God, self respect & respect for each other. The kids learn to give back to their community at a very young age through the very special Character Education program and that is another quality that sets the school apart from any other school in Brevard. Unmistakably Holy Trinity is the premier private school in Brevard.

I have two children that have attendend Holy Trinity since Early Childhood. My older child attends the Upper School, and I feel it was a seamless transition. He was well prepared, both academically and socially. My other child currently attends the Lower School, and loves the enrichment opportunities (music, art, PE, Chinese, STEM, computer lab and library). The teachers have open-communication with the parents and the character education program is fabulous. I have been consistently impressed by the quality of teachesr and the academics offered at both the Upper and Lower school.

I have two sons that graduated from Holy Trinity and I appreciate everything that was done for my children. I can hardly believe how lucky we were to have been part of the HT family. I wish that all students could receive the counseling, encouragement and education that HT students have. There is a marked difference between what HT does and what the typical school does. My sons received a foundation beyond academics... they were encouraged to develop spiritually, morally, athletically, creatively. They weren't perfect and they made mistakes during and after but through it all, they had the basic foundation to draw from and see them through the bumps. The college counseling was phenomenal. I haven't spoken to anyone who has had anything like it elsewhere. People are amazed when I tell them how my kids' high school led them through the college process starting from the 9th grade, ensuring that they got Bright Futures and other scholarships. One son will be finishing up with a masters in engineering this year with a job! My other son has graduated from college and is now attending medical school. Mr. Chiarella had an extremely positive impact on both of my sons.

Our child attended the lower school. She has been bullied, asked to sit at a lunch table with kids of her own ethnicity (by other kids) and ridiculed by other children. When we discussed this with other parents they had seen the same thing for multiple years with their kids. The staff tepidly acknowledged the issue and did nothing to remedy the situation. We have always sent our child to private schools and this is by far the worst experience we've had. The impression we get from the staff is that we are not customers, we are simply "lucky to be here". Academics at this school are fair at best but not worth the money being spent. The "care factor" from the staff is frustrating for parents who truly care about their child's education. The response to concerns is even more frustrating. You are not a customer her... your child is not the primary concern of the staff... don't be foolded by the hype.

While it may seem as though this school has much to offer, and will prepare your child for the college and subsequently, the real world, all of the claims to fame are simply just that. As a student now about to graduate college, I can say the only positive attribute of HTA for college was the aid in the application process. After 3 years in college, I have struggled with Math, Science as well as Physics. The classes were anything but challenging, and the more your parents donated, the better you were treated. The community was not "family-oriented" or morally sound, as they claim to be, as most parents and kids seem to think they are better than others. I had many friends in a rival private school, as well as a few public schools, and they have had much more success in college than my fellow classmates from HTA. For these reasons and many more, HT, if anything, prepared me for the opposite of the real world and college alike. My recommendation, save over 50,000 for for years of high school and pay for a real education in college. Sincerely, Past student.
