What Are We Thankful for at Trinity Prep?

What are we thankful for at Trinity Prep?  We are thankful for SO much.

I (Leslie) am particularly thankful for the FREEDOMS we have in America.

The freedom to educate our children as God leads.

The freedom to teach our children about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The freedom to WORSHIP.  We worship at school in Chapel, and throughout the day as we point our students to Jesus.  And, throughout our school day we also "pray without ceasing," as the Apostle Paul exhorted us to do.

The freedom to choose curriculum for our students, not dictated to us by any government.  And the blessing of small class sizes . . .

Our 2017-18 4th grade class.
The freedom our parents enjoy to work with their children at home as best suits their family.  Our educational partnership allows for so much flexibility in how the at-home days are structured and can be customized by parent and child.

Freedom.

We have all heard the saying, 'Freedom isn't really free.' And that is true - someone pays for it by standing on the wall for us.  But not just our service men and women defending America's freedoms.  We are grateful for those, but Jesus similarly purchased our freedom:

When the SON sets you free, you are FREE indeed.
(John 8:36)

Thank you Lord Jesus for setting us free.

School Director for Trinity Prep of Keller

A Student's Essay on Our Hybrid Model

Recently Mrs. Turner, one of our high school English teachers, shared a student's essay with me.  He chose to write about the benefits of attending a 'hybrid' school such as Trinity Prep. (We are the founders of the  College-Style School TM   model.) I was blessed to read this student's unsolicited praise for the solution that a CSS provides.  He has attended full-time schools and as been a full-time homeschooler, and he identifies the advantage of our model which combines the best of both worlds.  Read on for this student's thoughtful testimonial! "English Student" Mrs. Turner English 1 9th grade 1-17-19 The Schooling of the People What is the best way to school your child? With so many schooling options now, there are many ways you can go about schooling. You can go to public school, private school, online school, or homeschool, and get close to the same education at each. Although all these are options, it really comes down to one majo...

"How to Become a Jedi"

Image
" How to Become a Jedi " " I'm a Boss, Baby ! " " # beastmode " Those are the titles our Graduation Speaker, Kam Hunt , considered for his commencement speech to our fifteen 2018 graduates.  Considered, but discarded for a more ordinary title - for an extraordinary message.  Read on for a summary of Kam's inspiring message for our seniors: Five Things Great Leaders Do 1.  Never Stop Learning.  Let failure refine you, not define you. 2.  Find Your Purpose. Find a Mentor/Coach.  Finding a coach means finding someone that believes in your potential and they will push you to be all you can be.  No matter what your vocation, your purpose is to help as many people as you can. 3.  Be the Best Version of Yourself.  For example, I (Kam) will never be a Vietnamese woman  :)  I need to be the best version of Kam; you need to be the best version of YOU.  Don't rob the world of your true self.  You are un...

Dual Credit at Trinity Prep

How do students earn dual credit at Trinity Prep?  Via TWO pathways: I.    Tests:  AP, CLEP, or SAT II. II.   Online Courses with our academic partners.  All dual credit (DC) classes are an asset to a student’s high school experiences and transcript.  But not all colleges will award college credit for them.   Even colleges that will award credit will not necessarily apply them to the degree plan.  The more selective the college, the less likely they are to recognize for dual credit work for college credit.  But all state universities in TX do accept AP/CLEP test scores for college credit.  The acceptance rate ranges from just a few AP tests at UT in Austin to all AP and CLEP tests accepted at UT-Arlington and other smaller state schools.  In other words, it varies, but our students are very likely to earn credit based on a passing score on an AP or CLEP exam. Whether the DC is obtained at a community college, on...
