Beautiful campuses and learning environment. Their teachers and staff are the best and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Trinity Christian School for a classical Christian education.

This school in Kailua has two campuses and serves kids (preschool through high school) and parents. Trinity Christian School Kailua is a part of the Trinity Presbyterian Church. Some people call it the Trinity Christian Church. It's amazing to have school and church still combined. Small town feel yet big enough to have lots of offerings.

Small-sized Christian school featuring classical Christian school pedagogy. Teachers really put students in the first place. Students' interactions are friendly and supportive between lower grades and higher grades and among each class. Communication between parents and teachers/administrators is smooth. My kids love the school very much.

I have graduated 2 students (2013 and 2017) from this school and have one more in her Junior year. Trinity's Christian Classical approach prepares their students for college in all aspects of their life: spiritual, academic and socially. These students are life-time learners!

Trinity is on the right track now. I can say, having experienced the preschool, elementary and secondary, the leadership and culture of nurturing and guiding students is getting back to where it was and needs to be.

Trinity isnt just a school, its an Ohana. We have experienced their preschool, elementary and secondary. When our oldest was entering 8th grade I asked about about applying for a bigger ILH school for athletic purposes and she immediately said please dont take me out of Trinity I love it there! Our middle overheard and started crying said why do we have to leave Trinity? All I could do was laugh and say no one has to leave Trinity and there was a lot of cheering. We had never experienced Classical education until Trinity and love it. This school is special!

Sometimes the amount of homework has been overwhelming but most teachers in the secondary do a good job of communicating with the class and asking what they have already been assigned. Trinity is a college prep school so yes, there is homework! The kids need to be taught time management and self responsibility.
Posted: April 8, 2018
Trinity has some of the most compassionate teachers. They are truly there for the kids and to help them learn and grow as individuals.

We moved our 6th grader to Trinity mid-year after a less-than-ideal experience in the local public school. I cannot express how grateful we are that we made the move! It had made a HUGE difference for our son, academically, spiritually, socially... No joke, every day he comes home from school THANKING us for switching him, and offering to work to help pay tuition! He says his teachers make learning rich, and his quality of work has far surpassed his previous efforts at public school AND our expectations. The staff are all genuinely invested in not just the academic success of the students, but character development that reaches their heart and helps them be good humans! To finish, a little anecdote: While driving my son and his classmate to the beach on a school holiday, we passed the school. My son said, I kind of wish I was at school right now, and his classmate sighed, yeah, me too. This is a school your child will be EXCITED about going to every day!

Trinity is an amazing school with great teachers, kind students, and Christian focus on teaching kids. We love how our children are growing and thriving. And they learn so much!

Relationally focused, academically strong school. Teachers are genuinely here for the students. A friendly and decidedly Christian (not in name only) classical school for your children.
Posted: February 17, 2018
Policy of no assigned homework on weekends. Teachers is available and engaged to address homework concerns.
Posted: February 17, 2018
Graduates attend colleges of their choice, and are successful once enrolled.
Posted: February 17, 2018
A Christian worldview permeates the whole school; it is not just a class, but rather the aroma of the school.
Posted: February 17, 2018
Very relational leadership with an Open door environment. Students and parents have easy access to leaders.
Posted: February 17, 2018
Not geared toward students with diagnosed learning differences. The school is able to serve students who have need of minor differentiation.
Posted: February 17, 2018
Posted: May 22, 2017
The leaders support the teachers over the students. The school needs a counselor for students who feel that they can turn to if they have problems with a teacher.

The facilities are ok but could be better for the price we pay.

The positive part of the school is how the students bond together, and how the parents are involved as much as possible. The students come from good homes, and many attend a Christian church.

Some teachers are wonderful, but there are a few who wouldn't be qualified to teach in a public school.
Posted: May 18, 2017
I see my child staying up too late to complete homework, then is very tired the next school day. I'm afraid to talk to some of the teachers about this.
Posted: April 19, 2017
Homework load too high. After these kids go through hours of being perfect they get to go home to hours of homeworks startjng in third grade. If you bring up HW load you'll get a negative response and possible backlash on your child.
Posted: April 19, 2017
Great school K-6 then it's all down hill. Rigid, petty administration and staff. Their pride is so big they can't see the improvements they need to make. Unqualified teachers teaching in these upper classes-especially in the science /biology areas. I wouldn't recommend Trinity unless your child is perfect walking through the front door.

My son has gone to this school since Kindergarten and he has grown mentally, physically, and emotionally in the past few years thanks to this wonderful school. The teachers and staff are very caring and want the best for your child! We are moving off island and I am so very upset I have to pull him out of this school! No other school will every compare! I can not say enough for how wonderful this school is!!

Trinity Christian School has been a great fit for our family. We are in our 7th year at TCS and hope to be here through graduation. The small class size is perfect for our children. The teachers are great and seem to love not only the students but being a teacher! When we joined TCS the school ended at 6th grade. Amazingly, this year TCS will graduate its 1st senior class. It has been exciting to be a part of the changes and growth of the school.

This wonderful school hits the mark in terms of educating and nurturing its students. The small class size, academic excellence, and its focus on the character and integrity of the students makes it feel like we're sending our children to be home schooled by a team of experts. We can't recommend this school enough!

We rate this school "excellent" plus! We have reviewed schools throughout CA and Hawaii, this is the most amazing Christian, Classical education out there. Our daughter is learning so much academically, but most importantly her character has improved. There is nothing out there like this. PTL we found this amazing environment!!!! Please note: they now go through HIGH SCHOOL
Posted: May 27, 2011
Our girls have absolutely thrived at this school! The teachers and staff really do care about all the students and make every effort to help the children succeed. We feel so blessed that our girls get to learn in such a caring environment that makes learning so fun.

Trinity Christian School is the school I wish I would have had the opportunity to go to as a child! I have three children (4,6,8) enrolled. Trinity provides a nurturing environment. I really feel the faculty love our children as much as we do. The head of school knows every child (and parent) by name! Trinity provides a challenging academic program founded on the classical Christian approach.

This school is fabulous. It provides the children with a solid, classical education strong in the basics that are necessary for anything they choose to do it their lives. The faculty are dedicated to partnering with the parents to form a team focused on learning and growing in their education and spiritual life. Our daughter has thrived since moving over from another private school that was more interested in getting the school's name recognized so they could raise the tuition.

My 2 boys ages 8 and 11 have been at Trinity since age 3 preschool and it has been a very nurturing experience for them with strong academics(Latin! Ancient Greek History! Cell Biology in 5th grade!Annual Speech Festival!)) The art teacher is excellent and my kids have played on both basketball and volleyball teams (VB won their league this past Feb 2011) A gem.
Posted: May 5, 2011
This school offers rigor in a nurturing environment. Our girls have blossomed and excelled in this school! We love this school!

Aloha, I am a mom of a former Trinity student who attended from preschool and graduated from 6th grade. Now, 20 years old, my son has grown into an amazing young man who endeavors to honor God and has His heart to help others. At his tender age, he has already seen the humanity of third world countries when he deployed in 2008. Curriculum, decent grades and athletics are only part of the whole picture; without integrity, humility and compassion one cannot be a well-rounded person. I remain grateful to the folks at Trinity for their consistant examples of what true character and God's love looks like . Partnering with Trinity for all those years was truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Fantastic school ciriculum helping our daughter prepare not only for college but life. Loving caring warm teachers and staff that hasn't been found anywhere else.

Our child was homeschooled for many years prior to entry at Trinity. The transition was very smooth and the teachers most willing to accomodate individual needs and interests, a rare attribute that we cherish. Our child likes going to school, reads many classical books that I wish I had time to read, and is encouraged to do the best work possible. We like the classical approach, the class size, the loving teachers and staff, and the standards and expectations for the students. The heart of our child is most important to us, and it is nurtured at Trinity, drawing the child closer to the Lord's character and love. There are other larger schools with status names, more electives, and techy trends, but Trinity is focused on the character and Christian upbringing of their students. We'll choose that any day.

My child is in high school at Trinity and is being challenged academically, spiritually, and physically in this small school environment. Her teachers have been caring and knowledgeable individuals and she is enjoying opportunities for service, teamwork, and leadership. The administration has also been open and responsive to her needs. In this kind of environment, I have seen her mature in her knowledge and understanding in the variety of subjects that she is learning. I don't see her education as a waste of time and money, but as an investment in her life. I wish I had received a comparable education as a youngster.

My children (6 & 9 yrs) LOVE Trinity Christian School!! The small classes provide my children a better learning environment and quicker access to their teachers. The teachers are gifted with a love for teaching, for the children and the ability to effectively teach them using the Classical education curriculum. They are able to connect history, math, literature, science, art, and bible all together using this type of curriculum.
Posted: May 17, 2010
Even a 1 star rating is TOO high. My child attended Trinity for 5 months. After hearing and reading great reviews of the school I was excited that my child was accepted mid year. Although my child has accelerated in studys, administration and staff found that she/he wasn't ready for their school program the following year. Upon this evaluation, they took it upon themselves to WITHDRAW my child from their Summer School program (after she/he was CONFIRMED and PAID in full) 3 weeks prior to starting summer. They were unwilling to work with me as to where to put my child. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I would not recommend this school to my worst enemy.
Posted: April 1, 2010
We love this school! Trinity is a Classical Christian school that is helping us to train our boys. The teachers are loving and the academic instruction is challenging. As long as we live in Hawaii we will send our children to Trinity!

Wow, Trinity Christian School! What a blessing it is to find a school who wants to educate my children classically, in a godly, Christ-centered, compassionate way. Trinity has been around for many years serving families from pre-school to 6th grade, but now they have expanded to include 7-9th grade and will continue adding a grade each year till they are a complete pre-school through 12th grade. Now my children can continue to be mentored by Godly teachers with high standards and loving hearts. The teachers at Trinity genuinely care for my children s character as well their education. Thank you Trinity for your diligence in producing a quality education for my children and the future generations of Hawaii children.
