EDUCATION GUIDE Trinity School at Edgemere Educating students with learning differences, each according to their specific needs
Trinity educates children with learning differences such as autism, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia. The K-12 school also serves students with auditory and sensory processing issues, anxiety and developmental or intellectual delays. Trinity is the only school in the Oklahoma City area dedicated to educating students with diagnosed learning differences. Their staff includes a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in psychoeducational testing and a Licensed School Psychometrist. These experts allow Trinity to track standardized testing results and data from formative assessments, inform instruction and guide individualized learning plans. In addition, Trinity’s staff experts work with classroom instructors and division heads to develop programs for students of all ages to determine how best to help them succeed academically. At Trinity, spiritual development is just as important as academic rigor. Trinity has a full-time chaplain who holds weekly chapel and religious education classes. In addition, Trinity students participate in service projects each year, learning to serve God and others. Trinity recognizes that a child’s social development is vitally important. Therefore, the school requires weekly classes to help students improve self-advocacy and social skills. Furthermore, Trinity aims to help students address learning and executive function differences due to neurodiversity. Trinity also offers activities, sports and clubs, making school a fun place to be. Because each learner is unique, Trinity designs programs and instruction utilizing the latest assistive technology and evidence-based teaching methods. Unlike many schools, accommodations/modifications are delivered directly in the classroom. The unique K-12 program and small class sizes allow Trinity to use multiple methods to improve students’ experiences and outcomes.
Trinity is so much more than a school — it’s a community centered around inclusion, celebrating differences and being met where you are. The loving, Christ-centered, student-focused environment allows students to thrive and be a part of something greater than themselves. The whole child growth development model ensures that every student is set up for success and allowed to ‘fail forward’ without hurting their confidence. For our family, it has been the very best decision and investment we’ve made for our children’s futures! Lucia Frohling, lower school parent
