CURRICULUM

Trinity follows a long tradition of Lutheran Schools who provide excellence in education. 

Since the fall of 2000, our school began the transition into a Classical approach to education which strives for academic excellence, behavioral discipline, Christian content, and direct instruction methodologies. Classical Education is based on the understanding that children develop intellectually in different ways at different ages of their life.  Therefore, the child’s education should correspond to the different stages of the child’s intellectual development.  All subjects are taught using a variety of textbooks and methods, but teachers strive to teach everything from a Christian viewpoint.  Christian textbooks will be used when appropriate.

Areas of Instruction include:

  • Mathematics (Saxon method)
  • Language arts, including Shurley grammar and the Spalding method of phonics for writing and reading
  • Latin beginning in 3rd grade
  • Science
  • History/Geography
  • Religion
  • Weekly classes in computers, music, art, and physical education
  • Logic

WORSHIP

The children participate in daily devotions and weekly chapel services. In addition to worshiping God, the children learn respect for God's house, develop positive worship attitudes, and learn hymns and forms of worship.

STAFFING

Qualifications of Teachers

Trinity Lutheran School requires all of its teachers to be certified by the State of Wyoming and/or rostered by the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS).  It is the policy of Trinity that all full-time teachers have a Lutheran Teachers Diploma (or are working towards such certification). The theological training helps teachers integrate their Christian faith in the teaching of academic subjects. In such instances where an LCMS certified or rostered teacher is not available, the vacant position will be filled with the most suitable replacement until an LCMS certified or rostered teacher can be secured. All non-degreed teachers are required to maintain a current Wyoming State Substitute Teacher’s Certificate and will be supervised by a rostered teacher.
