MIDDLE SCHOOL
Learning Services
The mission of Learning Services at Trinity School is to educate students with the support needed to participate in our rich, unhurried, classical, and Christian mission. We seek to foster students' delight in the truth, goodness, and beauty of learning and create spaces where children can know their giftings as created image-bearers of God.
Trinity provides accommodations for students with identified learning differences based on the recommendations of an educational evaluation and school-based data. Accommodation Plans work as a roadmap for teachers to integrate support into their classroom teaching to help level the playing field. The Learning Specialist works with the student and their teachers to implement accommodations in the classroom setting and for assessments. Students may also receive tailored support in executive functioning, homework help, and light content review.
Students presenting with academic challenges may be referred to Learning Services by a classroom teacher or parent. The team will meet to determine the academic needs and create an intervention-based approach. Students who need on-going support and formalized accommodations will be recommended for educational testing.
School Counseling
Trinity’s counseling program takes a holistic view of mental health, desiring that our students mature into emotionally, physically, socially, and spiritually healthy adults with an understanding of the person that God created them to be.
Our counseling program looks different across the various schools of Trinity as student needs change through the course of their development. While we are not equipped to provide psychological testing, long-term individual therapy, or separate instructional settings for students with high needs, we strive to link our families to a variety of services within the community at large.
We believe that God created each student uniquely and with purpose. We also acknowledge that faith development often grows deeper through hard times and seasons of doubt.
Trinity’s school counseling program provides families with:
- Classroom guidance lessons, especially in Lower and Middle School.
- Small student groups.
- Short-term individual student sessions.
- Coordination of Care with off-campus mental health professionals.
- Parent and faculty consultations regarding student concerns.
- Crisis preparation and intervention
- Resources and training for families and faculty.
Trinity’s counseling department seeks to provide a non-judgmental space where students can wrestle with tough questions at their own unhurried pace and know that they are not alone.
As we serve the mental health needs of our students, we rest in the notion that beauty, goodness, and truth are God’s fingerprints and seek to acknowledge these as we journey together toward maturity.
