Appointments for School Visits:
Our office contacts families directly by email to set up meeting dates. We appreciate your patience as you wait to hear from our office. In the meantime, you will receive application status updates via email approximately every two weeks.
NOTE ABOUT APPOINTMENTS: We are honored that you are considering Trinity in your search for a school and understand how important it is to find the right community for your family. Regrettably, we are unable to meet with all families that apply. We typically receive more applications than we can accommodate during the months we tour and interview - early October through early January. Of course, each year is different so numbers may vary. We will offer appointments to as many families as we can within the season. In determining who we are able to meet, we are guided by a variety of factors geared towards shaping a balanced class. We seek to meet families that share our same values: a passion for learning, hard work, joy, a respect for tradition and a desire to become respectful partners and positive members of our community. We are looking for curious, happy children who are eager to learn and hail from a variety of school programs. Trinity cares deeply about diversity in the broadest sense of the word, seeking students of varied talents whose geographic, socioeconomic, racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and family backgrounds will enrich our community. We value our sibling, legacy, faculty and staff families, yet we are deeply committed to welcoming families that are brand new to the school every year. A small committee reads applications on a daily basis, and our goal is to stay in close touch with your family throughout the process. We appreciate your interest, patience and understanding.

School Visits:
Parent/Guardian Tour: Led by a current Trinity parent, two families at a time will walk through the entire campus to see classrooms in action and the various facilities we enjoy such as the pool, gym, labs and more. (If walking for long stretches or stairs is difficult please let us know in advance so we can modify your tour.)
Child Visit: At the same time as the parent/guardian conversation, your child will have the chance to do some fun, child-friendly activities with another member of our team. This meeting is intimate as there are just two children at a time in a warm and welcoming space.
Classroom Observation:
If your child is enrolled in an early childhood program that will allow someone from our team to visit in-person, our office will organize this directly with the school. If your child is in a public school, at a program that we are unable to connect with or if there are very few applicants from the school, we will ask you to schedule a play session on a Saturday in a Trinity classroom. Whether we go to your school’s classroom or host a play session at Trinity, both experiences are valuable to see your child at play.
School Report:
We require a current school report from your child’s school. Most early childhood programs already have this report form (developed by our Admissions Association, ) and will send it directly to us upon completion. If you are at a non-ISAAGNY school, public/charter school or daycare center that does not use this report format, you can email a copy of this form (ISAAGNY Confidential School Report) directly to them through your FinalSite parent portal to fill out electronically and submit directly back to us this fall/winter. If your school prefers to use their own report format, we will happily accept that instead. Finally, if your child is not enrolled in a program or they do not fill out forms, please let us know so that we can work together to learn more about your child from an educational perspective.
Video Clip (Optional):
We invite you to share one brief, current (between September 1 - December 31) video clip of your child with us. This casual observational video should not be more than 60 seconds in length. You can use your mobile phone, iPad or another device (no professional recordings, please). Spontaneous conversation may be included and is welcome. Suggested activities include: Building, drawing, painting, playdoh, imaginary play, outdoor time, etc.
Please label your video with the applicant’s name and upload directly into your FinalSite parent portal checklist. You may upload the video at any time during the fall / winter. You do not have to upload it at the same time you submit your application. If you do not have access to a device to record a video, you may email or mail us an “action” photo instead of a video if you would like.
File Completion:
(Note: Personal letters of recommendation are not required or encouraged; multiple letters sent in on behalf of a family are discouraged.)
