How to Apply
Our History- Trinity Christian School (TCS) was established in 1953 by an association of Christian parents committed to Christian education from a biblically Reformed perspective. For over 70 years, parents and students have been served in a true family environment that fosters love and respect for parents, teachers, and peers. The present facility, a former public middle school, was purchased in 1989 and now provides large classrooms, a playground, modern science labs, an updated computer center, a gymnasium, a well-equipped cafeteria, an auditorium, rooms for band and choir, and soccer and softball fields on a spacious 13-acre campus. Today, TCS serves the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh by providing a solid home-church-school partnership for more than 430 students in grades K-12 from over 90 churches in the area. This partnership nurtures each child as a uniquely gifted bearer of God’s image. Through rigorous curricular and co-curricular programs, students are taught to use all the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical talents that God has given them to their full potential.
Mission-Directed Governance- In 2011, TCS adopted a mission-directed governance model that allows the school to define educational ideals, focus leadership energies, advance the school, create accountability, and measure results while holding fast to the essentials of our Christian faith and educational philosophy. In close partnership with the Head of School, Trinity’s Board of Trustees effectively addresses purpose, priority, and organization through this fresh approach to governance. This “mission-driven” approach is the focus of all dimensions of TCS. TCS is a member of Christian Schools International (CSI), The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and The Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). TCS is accredited by Christian Schools International and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
Location- TCS is located in Forest Hills, an eastern suburb of Pittsburgh. Forest Hills is known for its many recreational and family-oriented activities, and it is an ideal location because of its small-town feel. The local residents are especially fond of its bustling main street, Ardmore Boulevard, which is home to many restaurants, medical professional buildings, real estate brokers, and a local seasonal farmer’s market. Forest Hills is conveniently located just 8 miles from downtown Pittsburgh and the Cultural District, providing access to museums, theaters, and a vibrant business district, all of which are accessible by public transit. Several major universities, including Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Duquesne University, are less than five miles away
