About Trinity Episcopal Day School

Our Program

The mission of Trinity Episcopal Day School is to nurture each child in Mind, Body, and Spirit within a dynamic learning environment that inspires a love of learning and strong spiritual and moral values.

The Faculty, Staff, and Board of Trinity Episcopal Day School are united in their belief that all children:

Have the power to learn
Are curious and creative
Can succeed

We know that God uniquely created your child. No two children have the same learning style. That’s why we create a personalized learning environment. Teachers combine direct classroom instruction, small-group work, and one-on-one interaction in a way that works best for your child.

We Believe in An Episcopal School Education:

Trinity Episcopal Day School is an outreach ministry of Trinity Episcopal Church of The Woodlands. The church is an integral part of our school and assists us in merging spiritual formation into all aspects of the educational experience for our children. First and foremost, Episcopal Schools have a commitment to provide excellence in teaching and learning. Our preschool teachers guide our young learners with love as they balance play with new concepts during class time. Episcopal Schools are inclusive communities who invite families of all faiths to participate; they are welcoming and hospitable to all. Trinity Episcopal Day School is a community where all individuals appreciate a diversity of cultures, faith practices, and a love of learning that is exchanged in every school day and at every school event. A place where children are recognized, appreciated, and held in good care. We weave these principles into the fabric of our school’s life through chapel services as we ensure that we are providing a firm foundation of Christ’s love while helping our children to be openhearted learners who practice responsible behavior and offer service to others.

Accreditation

Accreditation blends external quality control (compliance with standards and best practices) with an assessment of the degree of adherence to a school’s mission. - Attests to a school’s excellence through provable and respected standards of quality. - Employs a process of evaluation that combines internal self-scrutiny with an external review by a team of professional peers. Both the internal and external reviews bring helpful and accurate observations, comments, and suggestions for the purposes of validation and improvement. - Assists the school in better realizing its own mission and objectives by enhancing the school’s unique character. - Helps refine school goals and provides direction and focus for future planning. - Strengthens the voice of all SAES schools by speaking collectively for the interests of Episcopal schools. - Is an essential credential for some foundation fundraising, SEVIS certification, some Episcopal dioceses, and other state and federal programs.

Being an Accredited Episcopal School

Accreditation is earned through a voluntary process that is greater than any one event. Standards have been developed carefully over time to indicate best practices in the ongoing organization and management of Episcopal schools. The process provides a framework for open inquiry into the school’s philosophy, policies, and procedures. It allows professional peers to make observations, suggestions, commendations, and recommendations that will benefit the school in its continuing quest to improve. This quality evaluation process involves all constituent groups that form the school community.

Recognition of Accredited Status

The Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES) serves Episcopal schools—richly diverse in location, size, and scope—throughout the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. SAES is the only Episcopal accrediting association in the United States. As a member of the International Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation (ICAISA), SAES has voluntarily submitted to a rigorous and impartial review of its accreditation program and demonstrated adherence to the Council’s Criteria for Effective Independent School Accreditation Practices. SAES is commended by ICAISA for the quality of the Association’s accreditation program for its member schools. SAES is recognized by state agencies and by ten Episcopal dioceses within the six states served by SAES. Accreditation with SAES is recognized by the state accreditation commissions in Texas – Texas Private School Accreditation Commission (TEPSAC) and Oklahoma - Oklahoma Private School Accreditation Commission (OPSAC); as well as the New Mexico Department of Education.
