Trinity Academy is cosponsored by the parishes of
St. Aloysius in Caldwell, Notre Dame in North Caldwell, and Our Lady of
the Blessed Sacrament in Roseland. Our primary mission is to provide our
students with the means for growth in Christian principles and the
pursuit of academic excellence. The dedication of our educators,
parents, and parishes creates a loving and nurturing environment for
students to acquire self-esteem, knowledge of the world, and gospel
values.
We provide a positive educational experience that
respects the uniqueness of each child, and encourages the development of
the whole person, within a strong Christian environment. The entire
school community - Pastors, teachers, parents, staff, and administration
work in cooperation toward the spiritual, academic, and social
development of each child.
Spiritually we offer our students the Catholic
values that will enable them to make moral, intelligent, and
knowledgeable decisions. Academically we instill in our students the
knowledge, skills, and desire for learning that will enable them to
pursue excellence and become the leaders of tomorrow. Socially we strive
to foster in our students a sense of personal fulfillment and
responsibility towards all people and the environment.
