5. Why Math Matters for Everyone
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of
logical ideas.
-Albert Einstein
I advise my students to listen carefully the moment they decide to
take no more mathematics courses. They might be able to hear the
sound of closing doors.
- James Caballero
6. How Trinity Ties it all Together
As an educational and outreach ministry of the Episcopal and
Lutheran churches, Trinity School will be a place where Christ's
love is felt by all. Trinity will provide a stimulating academic
environment reflecting a caring Judaic-Christian heritage,
providing a strong foundation on which students learn to
appreciate the world and their place in it and fostering a
lifelong intellectual curiosity. We value a learning atmosphere
that:
· supports and challenges intellectual curiosity · fosters self-
confidence and initiative · respects the gifts of each child
· encourages persistence and responsibility · is joyful, exciting,
and nurturing · secure, and orderly
Essential to Trinity's mission are sound educational goals. We
seek to empower all students to discover within themselves
that they are children of God, loved by God. We encourage the
spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and artistic potential of
all our pupils.
We value a program that:
· challenges each student · enriches with technology
· integrates the arts · provides a variety of learning experiences
· develops strong organizational and study habits · fosters
growth and understanding of Christian faith
We value the presence of religious, cultural, racial, and socio-
economic diversity in the school community. Relationships
within the school will nurture understanding, respect, and care
for others in all of Trinity's children. These goals will be met
through a cooperative approach involving the student, faculty,
parents, and friends. We value a school community whose
members:
· show respect and empathy for others · serve the community
through personal contribution · are positive role models
· demonstrate integrity, responsibility and discipline
