Do I have enough?

Why Math Matters for EveryonePure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.-Albert Einstein

I advise my students to listen carefully the moment they decide to take no more mathematics courses. They might be able to hear the sound of closing doors.

- James Caballero

How Trinity Ties it all Together As an educational and outreach ministry of the Episcopal and

Lutheran churches, Trinity School will be a place where Christ's love is felt by all. Trinity will provide a stimulating academic environment reflecting a caring Judaic-Christian heritage, providing a strong foundation on which students learn to appreciate the world and their place in it and fostering a lifelong intellectual curiosity. We value a learning atmosphere that:

· supports and challenges intellectual curiosity · fosters self-confidence and initiative · respects the gifts of each child · encourages persistence and responsibility · is joyful, exciting, and nurturing · secure, and orderly

Essential to Trinity's mission are sound educational goals. We seek to empower all students to discover within themselves that they are children of God, loved by God. We encourage the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and artistic potential of all our pupils.

We value a program that:

· challenges each student · enriches with technology · integrates the arts · provides a variety of learning experiences · develops strong organizational and study habits · fosters growth and understanding of Christian faith

We value the presence of religious, cultural, racial, and socio-economic diversity in the school community. Relationships within the school will nurture understanding, respect, and care for others in all of Trinity's children. These goals will be met through a cooperative approach involving the student, faculty, parents, and friends. We value a school community whose members:

· show respect and empathy for others · serve the community through personal contribution · are positive role models · demonstrate integrity, responsibility and discipline
