Enrollment/Registration
Our Mission: We will prepare our students to be responsible members of the Christian community, equipped with the knowledge and skill to live as powerful, forgiven witnesses of Christ and His love.
· Trinity Lutheran School was established in 1875 to educate youth in the Christian faith.
· Trinity offers classes for students from 3-year old preschool through 8th Grade.
· Our students are grouped into Prayer Families and meet regularly for faith activities.
· Trinity offers the following sports through our Defenders Cooperative joining our students in Christian fellowship with Trinity Centralia and Trinity Hoyleton: Boys and Girls Basketball, Cheerleading, Volleyball, Baseball, Softball, and Cross Country.
· Trinity offers the following extra-curricular activities as well: 1st & 2nd Grade Little Eagles Basketball, 3rd – 5th Grade Pee Wee Basketball, Track, and Scholar Bowl.
· Trinity is able to keep tuition affordable to families in our community. While the cost per student is approximately $8500, we offer discounts to members and other Lutheran families reducing the amount each family pays.
· Trinity is also able to provide additional Scholarship funds to families needing assistance.
· The congregation supports the school, making up the difference between the tuition paid and the cost per student.
· Trinity’s students in 7th & 8th grade have created and maintained a Prayer Garden over the past nine years as a service to the congregation, school, and community.
· Trinity students have chapel each Wednesday morning at 8:45. You are welcome to join us!
· Thank you to all who support our school and in turn, its youth, by providing a place to nurture knowledge and faith.
