Does your student want to play fall sports with a local school?
Because of the Amended Charter School Act Provision, homeschooled, charter and Governor School students may participate in extracurricular activities in their school district.
Not every student will want to take advantage of this program, but we are grateful that homeschooled students now have this opportunity. Many CBCCA students participated last year and had a great experience. We hope that our homeschooled students will be both a blessing and an asset to the local schools’ athletic programs.

Trinity Classical Academy is a co-op cottage school that was established in 2005. We have been serving Lowcountry families with a two-day a week school that provides a full Christian and Classical curriculum. On Tuesdays and Fridays our children engage in a nurturing, traditional classroom setting. The rest of the week they continue to grow and learn within the cherished institution of their families. Trinity Classical Academy exists to assist parents in the God-given privilege of educating their children and has helped educate hundreds of children in this community over the years.
With 2012-13 in our rear-view mirror, we are entering a time of prayer and preparation for the upcoming school year. Many of the teachers and curriculum have been decided already, but of course things can change between now and the beginning of the new year. We are prayerful at this time for our teachers, returning families, and new families. Trinity is a special school and we strive to keep it rigorous and challenging for our students within the boundaries of a Christ–centered community. By His grace we have been able to keep our tuition the same for the last 4 years with base being $2500 with the addition of upper level math an additional $400.
We invite you to partner with us at Trinity Classical Academy for the 2013-2014 school year. Please feel free to call or e-mail us with any questions. Applications are available at trinityclassicalacademy.org. May God grant you His wisdom as you seek to follow Him in raising your children for His glory.
Our Stand on Christian Education
We are a Christian school, focused on teaching all subjects with a Biblical foundation and worldview. We believe that God’s Word is the supreme authority and the source of all truth.
