Palmer Trinity School has excellent academics, athletics, arts and music. A very well-rounded balance to allow every child to thrive and find their passions. The teachers are dedicated and approachable, offering extra help or office hours before and after school and at lunch time. My sons are extremely happy and I think the school does a wonderful job teaching them how to be good global citizens while introducing a challenging curriculum with thought-provoking instructors. Their athletics have seen many successes in the last few years, with State Championship appearances in several sports including

Palmer Trinity by far has been The BEST CHOICE I have ever made for my son's education. When I first starting interviewing schools for middle school, PTS wasn't even on the list. However, a coworker who had two of her kids go through the program convince me to visit the Open House meeting. After the meeting, I didn't look anywhere else. I just knew that PTS would be the perfect fit for my son. Boy was I right. Now my son is attending 11th grade (5 years later). I am so happy to say that this BEST CHOICE was the truly the best for my family.

Teachers are the best in the world. Campus is stunning and perfect for studying and learning. Staff is of the highest class. Students are driven and motivated (for the most part) lovely school. Perhaps overpriced but what do I know.

Honestly, they may have great academics but lack sportsmanship. Was at a lacrosse game and several kids were talking trash to athletes. Maybe a balance in being respectful and polite would be helpful. Just a thought.

My son receives one on one support from all of his teachers. There is such a strong feeling of community between faculty, staff, students and parents that I can't imagine being anywhere else! Thank you, Palmer Trinity, for making my child feel as if he can do anything he sets his might to!
