The Trinity Prep difference is our faculty.
Sixty percent of our faculty earned advanced degrees. Not only are our educators constantly learning by attending events such as the Kenyon Review Writer’s Workshop, visiting science classrooms and laboratories in Germany, and studying about teaching Shakespeare productions at the Globe Theatre in London, but they also train other educators. Teachers have presented at the Superior Tech for Teachers conference, the Florida Council for Independent Schools annual conference, and Miami Device, an education technology conference, among others.
Our faculty receive honors from national and state education organizations. In 2014-15 alone, four teachers were awarded national or Florida Teacher of the Year awards in science, French, and ceramics. Trinity Prep teachers are experts at teaching Advanced Placement (AP) courses, with some teachers involved in grading AP tests from students throughout the country and even writing questions included in the AP tests.
Trinity Prep’s commitment to the professional development of our faculty is evident through our seven endowed chairs, a special honor that is rare in secondary schools. After a rigorous selection process, these chairs provide funding to selected faculty members for a special project that creates learning opportunities for our students, such as creating public art projects with students, crafting programs to allow for independent student science research, and building healthy habits in students and faculty.
