Our Story
Trinity Christian School (TCS) was founded in 1981 by Trinity Presbyterian Church (TPC) with a vision of providing a quality Christian education for its community on the Windward side. A group of families stepped forward in faith and enrolled 26 students in that first year. As the school grew and took shape, TCS quickly gained a reputation for its Christ-centered mission, high quality educational programs, dedicated teaching staff, and involved parent community--all features that have carried on to this day.
By 1990, the school had expanded to include classes from preschool through 6th grade. What began as a private home in Maunawili Valley transformed into a campus with an elementary building (1986), a new administration building with offices, library, computer lab, and sanctuary (1998), and a remodeled preschool center (1999).
Families were blessed not only by the education of their children but also by their participation in a community of friends and supporters. Students were known in the community for their God-honoring character and love for learning. Graduates from 6th grade succeeded at the most prestigious schools on the island. Waiting lists grew, and the opportunity to serve more families began to inspire some visionaries to take another step in faith.
In consultation with TPC and the TCS community, the School Board decided in 2007 to expand the program to include a Logic School. At the same time, they decided to embrace a classical method and philosophy for education to provide a holistic vision for the school, improve the quality of education throughout, and participate in a growing renewal of classical Christian education in America.
