182 children, eleven classrooms, one chapel and a great deal of singing.
A school day
Catechism at 8:30, recess at 10:15

Every child from second grade up learns an instrument, and every class sings at a Sunday service once a year.

Families ask
Before you enrol
Do we have to be Lutheran?
No. About a third of our families belong to Trinity, and the rest come from many churches or none. Every child attends chapel and learns the catechism.
How much is tuition?
For 2026–27, $5,400 a year for members and $6,900 for non-members, before scholarships. Nobody has been turned away for money in living memory.
Is there a bus?
One route from the southwest side, morning and afternoon. Ask the office for the stops.
