Trinity School for Children is a charter school in Tampa, Florida. The school is based on the philosophy of the Bank Street College of Education, which is in New York City, New York, and was established in 1916 by Lucy Sprague Mitchell.
[edit] History
Trinity School for Children was established in 1999 with 211 children aged 3 to 9 years old. Today, Trinity educates over 900 students 7 weeks old to 14 years old and has a waiting list of over 1,500 students.
The founding members of Trinity are: Jim Castillo , Brian Erickson , Reggie Earl, Celeste Greco, Irma Hernandez, Gloria Marchese, Rene Martinez, Madeline O'Dea, Jessica Perez, Jennifer Solar, Heather Wolf-Erickson, Jim Weiskircher, MJ Weiskircher
[edit] Philosophy
The single most important organizing principle of education at Trinity School for Children is that in order for children to learn in school and to become lifelong learners, they must interact with their environment (people, places, things) and interpret their experience.
[edit] Curriculum
Trinity offers a Family Center for infants - 2 year olds. The Early Childhood curriculum begins with an EC 2/3's class, and continues through Kindergarten (EC 5/6). Middle School curriculum is taught to 6/7's through 10/11's(1st-5th grades). The oldest students are 11/12's, 12/13's, 13/14's (6th-8th grade) and attend Trinity's Upper School. The school's principal is Madeline O'Dea.
[edit] Notability
The school is the only one in the United States to fully incorporate the Bank Street College of Education's Bank Street method of education as an entire school rather than selectively for a class or two. Because of this, it is widely known in the national primary education community and is the subject of several studies in early childhood education and is used by University of South Florida and University of Tampa college of Education students for field-study course work and internships
