Preschool & Kindergarten School in Menlo Park, San Mateo County

Trinity School:
Trinity School, established in 1961, is a co-educational, independent Episcopal day school offering preschool through to elementary school programs, with two campus locations in Menlo Park in San Mateo County in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. The Early Childhood Program (ECP 3 & 4) is located at our lower campus at 330 Ravenswood Road, Menlo Park, and ECP for JK through to Grade 5 is located at our upper campus at 2650 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park.

Trinity School embodies and brings to life the highest standards for developing critical thinking in children. Our faculty ushers the child's intellectual and spiritual growth through a rigorous curriculum carefully crafted to empower students to think, believe, and act. The small size of the School, one class per grade, means that each child in the community is well known and has an important role that grows over time.

As an Episcopal school, Trinity School is rooted in a tradition that values cultivation of the mind, spiritual inquiry, diversity, and service.  The legacy of a Trinity education is a curious mind and a discerning heart.

We provide a rigorous curriculum that reinforces our students' intrinsic desires to learn. In early childhood and elementary years of education, children thrive on a broad and deep curriculum crafted with a clear eye on basic skills and knowledge related to literacy, math, social studies, and science. Our innovative program features specialist teachers for science / garden, library, advanced math, Spanish, music, art, physical education, and religious studies.

Educational Philosophy:
From grade to grade, Trinity's educational philosophy and academic standards, that broadly define what we want children to know and be able to do, provide both a coherent academic structure as well as room for the arts of teaching and learning. Because we value critical thinking, character development, and social responsibility, we encourage students to engage in leadership, public speaking, and service learning.

Helping children understand and value human differences provides special focus on the varied backgrounds and perspectives of our student body.
