God first. Family second. School third. Solid education helped prepare us for the real world spiritually, academically, and socially. As Mrs. Katoa said, "Victory through the struggle."Great for locals and military families who want a good education for the next generation of leaders.

Small-sized Christian school featuring classical Christian school pedagogy. Teachers really put students in the first place. Students' interactions are friendly and supportive between lower grades and higher grades and among each class. Communication between parents and teachers/administrators is smooth. My kids love the school very much.

I have graduated 2 students (2013 and 2017) from this school and have one more in her Junior year. Trinity's Christian Classical approach prepares their students for college in all aspects of their life: spiritual, academic, physical and socially. The care that teachers show for their students is amazing! These students leave Trinity and are life-time learners!

Trinity Christian School is one of the top schools in Hawaii. Academic standards are very high. Teachers are top quality. We love the classical methods of education-- time-tested methods that really capitalize on the way God created students to learn. And the gospel is taught and preached faithfully. I am grateful to be a part of the TCS family

Relationally focused, academically strong school. Teachers are genuinely here for the students. A friendly and decidedly Christian (not in name only) classical school for your children.
