Trinity Lutheran Christian School , K-8 (Private)

Sending out daughter to Trinity Lutheran was one of the BEST decisions we made as parents. My daughter went there from Kindergarten through 8th grade and always felt that this was her home away from home. Elementary grade teachers understand the importance of laying a solid foundation in reading, writing, and arithmetic along with providing a positive nurturing atmosphere. Junior high teachers understand the importance of preparing your child for the next step, high school. Academically my daughter was an A student at Trinity and now in public high school she is still an A student. Trinity provided advanced classes for her to take to compete academically with the rest of her freshman class. We found that investing our time and participating in school activities helped us get the most that Trinity has to offer.

Trinity Lutheran is a fantastic place for your child. The preschool is wonderful and the teachers are all very caring and loving and the curriculum is awesome and very advanced. The elementary school is fabulous and has been an asset to my now junior high student. The Drama program is the best in Orange County with very professional productions. The staff is like a family and great role models for the students. You won't be sorry you chose Trinity!!

My child was in the class with the child and family that was supposedly treated poorly. I believe the school responded approprietly to the situation. The child in question posed a physical threat to all the children and staff in the class. Hopefully the child is in an environment that is more accomidating to their specific needs. I have never donated any money to the school, only my time and love.My children have been academically enriched and the support of all the staff has been above average.

Trinity has been a tremendous blessing for our family. We have a child who had difficulties at another Christian school and the principal and teaching staff here at Trinity embraced our child with the love of Christ and a heartfelt desire to transition our son into the excellent academic program offered at Trinity. Since then he has grown academically and spiritually. His self-confidence and social skills have improved significantly as well. We are NOT a family who is able to donate a lot of money to the school and we have never felt that those who do get treated differently. We love the principal and the teaching staff and are thankful for their dedication to the students. We have found a family at Trinity and most importantly, my children absolutely love the school!

I have two children currently attending TLC. Preschool is good and from what I understand is more academic than other preschools. I am very impressed by the grade school academics. The students are well above average. After kindergarten, the children are reading above the 1st grade level and already know how to count money, and can do math sentences. They also have music and computer classes. The school and classes are very small. We are going into our third year at Trinity and have found it to be a family to us. And we do NOT donate a lot of money to school. We are just a regular family. If you have any concerns, address them with the teacher and school. It will be handled immediately. We feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful school for our children.

This school is completely hypocritical. They say they are Christians but didn't treat my child or my husband and me very 'Christian-like' at all. My child's teacher was aweful and inexperienced. The bottom line is if your child isn't 'perfect' then they won't deal with you. Or if your child has some difficulties, as long as you donate a lot of money to the school, they will put up with you. This school thinks that they can handle learning disabilities but they can not. With ADHD being the most common mental disorder in children and 1 in 100 children are diagnosed with ASD, they should be more open minded and accomodating. We pulled our child after 2 months. The experience was traumatizing for my family. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone.

Both of my children attended Trinity Lutheran Christian School from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Although they have very different personalities, each thrived at this school. They were both well prepared for rigorous academic course work in high school. In addition to the strength in academics, the school also has wonderful extracurricular activities including drama, after school sports, and music lessons. We found Trinity to be a nurturing environment and loved all the teachers. It was hard to leave such a wonderful school.

My children have attended Trinity since preschool, so we have been here for 8 years. The improvements over the years have been amazing!! The teachers are all highly qualified, with most (if not all) having a teaching credential and many with masters degrees as well. I've found that the homework is not extensive, even though the academics are superior. The extracurricular options are fabulous too - from drama to sports to Chinese class! I would highly recommend this school to everyone - we love it here, and I would never consider going anywhere else.

My family and I simply adore Trinity! My daughter has been at Trinty Lutheran Christian School for a year and loves it. We transfered from Heritage Oak to Trinity and I've found it to be just as prestigious but with a bonus of a loving, caring, Christian atmosphere. My daughter has become a more caring, loving, well mannered child and will continue to be at Trinity Lutheran Christian School until she graduates 8th grade!

This is a great school! My two children have attended Trinity for many years, starting with the preschool. We have had a great experience and find that Trinity excels academically but in other areas as well. As other reviews have mentioned, they have terrific extracirricular activities and Trinity works to help raise well rounded children. Love this school!

My daughter hated this school. she loved only one of her teachers. all the others were stressful and very unexperienced. There was so much drama ever since she went to Trinity. Everyday she would come home in tears, begging me to change schools. She highly dislikes this school. the academics are okay. but the child discipline needs working on. My child would also work from when she came home from school until at least 12:00 a.m. she was very stressed- out from all of this homework. I watched her and she would finish each assignment from 1-3 hours. she has good grades and she does her homework but some of it confuses her because her teachers were not clear and did not explain well. I am very disappointed with this school. She enjoyed going to public school much better. She did enjoy Drama though.

Our daughter was new to Trinity and she is in 6th grade. The support offered by teachers, CORE staff and Principal has been phenomenal. It took time to get used to the academic expectations, but now that the year is almost complete we are WOW'd at how well she is doing. Lots of choices for after school activities and the drama program is incredible. We are happy to have found this great school.

My child is in kindergarten and we absolutely love it, that response is shared by the majority of parents I talk with. A terrific teacher and full time aid. The kids are reading, telling time and learning to count money at the half year point. They also emphasize social behavior and stress the importance of being kind to others. Art, spanish and computer classes start in 1st grade.

Our children have had the opportunity to attend a number of Christian based schools. In our experience, Trinity offers strong and accelerated academic programs which certainly shows in the schools SAT scores. At Trinity, you'll also find a school that instills strong biblical morals and a positive environment for a child to excel at their given level. The music and arts programs are impressive especially considering they do a full theater production annually at a cultural arts center.

We love this school! My son and daughter love their teachers. We appreciate the strong academic program, the family atmosphere, and the overall hig quality of their program. They are strong in performing arts and in science and math and writing. They have new facilities, a science lab, and new library. Parent involvement could be better, but is generally good for field trips and fund raisers.

Re: Preschool. Some of preschool teachers are inexperienced and have difficulty managing the children in a productive & positive manner. While academically advanced, the overall environment is chaotic and changes frequently. A positive: It does have a family-like atmosphere.
