Curriculum
Trinity Regional School offers a comprehensive educational program from Nursery School
through Eighth Grade.
Early Childhood
Program
Our Early Childhood Program consists of a Nursery School for 3 year olds.
Pre-Kindergarten for 4 year olds and Full Day Kindergarten.
Nursery for 3 year olds concentrates
on the social and physical growth of early childhood. Arts & Crafts, Music/Dance and
Language Development are key elements of this program.
The emphasis of Pre-Kindergarten for
4 year olds is the intellectual, physical, social, spiritual and emotional growth of each
child in a risk free environment.
Kindergarten lays the foundation for
a child to become a thinking, caring student. It provides the material, experience,
relationships and opportunities to meet the spiritual, social, intellectual, emotional and
physical needs of the young child. Included in the Kindergarten Program is instruction in
Music, Library, Gym and Computers.
Religion is taught for all classes.
Children participate in para-liturgical services, church visits and regional-wide
celebrations.
