How safe is the school, really — beyond what the marketing says?
Based on news coverage and Niche, we found no reported safety incident at Trinity School in the past year. The one reported controversy, in September 2022, concerned a staff member’s recorded remarks and not student safety, and Niche’s student poll reports that 47 percent of students agree they feel safe at school.
| Item | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Safety incidents, past year | None reported in the coverage we found | News search |
| September 2022 | A director of student activities was placed on paid leave after an undercover video by Project Veritas, and outside counsel investigated; the matter concerned the official’s remarks, not student safety | KUTV |
| Student poll | 47 percent of students agree they feel safe at school | Niche |
Niche’s figure is a poll of the students who answered, not a count of incidents, and its reviewers describe a stressful, competitive culture. We found no published discipline, suspension or emergency-plan records, so what a family needs about supervision, bullying and emergencies is a question for the school.
What’s the true total cost — tuition plus fees, room/board if applicable — and how has it moved over the last 3–5 years?
The school’s own financial-aid page for Trinity School shows a tuition figure of $71,500, dated 8/29/2025 and given without a grade or year, while Bloomberg reported in February 2025 that the school “will charge $69,000” for 2025–26, so we cannot give one confirmed figure.
| Cost | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition, school page | $71,500, dated 8/29/2025, with no grade or year | Trinity School |
| Tuition, 2025–26 | $69,000 | Bloomberg |
| Tuition, third-party profile | $66,740 | Private School Review |
| Tuition, 2023–24 | $64,100 to $64,300 | Wikipedia |
| Included | Lower School lunch and snacks, local field trips, team uniforms and equipment, Trinity-owned instruments, studio and performing-arts materials and technology | Trinity School |
| Not included | Some Global Engagement travel, Athletics trips, classroom supplies and the Forensics programs (Model UN, Model Congress, Debate) | Trinity School |
| Room and board | None: a day school | Trinity School |
The school calls its tuition “largely all-inclusive.” Read at face value, the 2023–24 and 2025–26 figures differ by about $4,700 to $4,900, but the sources do not say whether they describe the same grade, so we do not treat the gap as a trend. The application fee is $75, waived for families who apply for aid. Ask the school for its current schedule by grade.
How qualified and stable are the teachers — credentials, average tenure, turnover?
Based on the school’s own pages, Trinity School reports 187 faculty for 1,046 students in 2026–27, and a school job posting from December 2024 says its faculty have “over 20 doctorates and 96 master’s degrees.” We found no tenure or turnover figures.
| Measure | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Faculty and students, 2026–27 | 187 faculty; 1,046 students; the school states a 13:1 student-teacher ratio | Trinity School |
| Federal record, 2023–24 | 1,044 students; 156.5 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers; a student-teacher ratio of 6.7 | NCES |
| Credentials | Over 20 doctorates and 96 master’s degrees among the faculty | School job posting, December 2024 |
| Leadership | Alexis Mulvihill, Head of School, who writes that she taught English at the school for 14 years | Trinity School |
The 13:1 ratio the school states cannot be the ratio of its students to its faculty, since 1,046 students and 187 faculty give about 5.6 to 1, so it most likely describes classes. We found no average-tenure or turnover figures and no state licensing data, and the credential count is a recruiting statement rather than an audited one.
Are scholarships or financial aid available, and what share of students receive them?
Yes. Trinity School says it “currently assists almost 20% of our students across all grades,” with an average award of $53,905 for 2026–27, and awards that run from a few thousand dollars to nearly full tuition.
| Item | What the school says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Share of students aided | Almost 20 percent, across all grades | Trinity School |
| Average award, 2026–27 | $53,905 | Trinity School |
| Applicants requesting aid | 30.6 percent, 2026–27 | Trinity School |
| How to apply | A Clarity needs analysis; its $65 fee is waived automatically when the level of need qualifies | Trinity School |
| Dates | Opens Sep 8, 2026; webinar Nov 4, 2026, 6:30–7:30pm; current families Dec 16, 2026; prospective families Jan 8, 2027 | Trinity School |
The school’s own $75 application fee is automatically waived for any family applying for financial aid. The page does not say how much of the aid comes from the endowment or from fundraising, and we did not read the tax filings that would show the aid line.
Which future-critical STEM fields is this school genuinely strong in—and which ones are major gaps?
Based on our review, computer science is the one strong field at Trinity School, at 4.0 out of 5. AI and data and biotechnology follow at 3.0, robotics, clean energy and advanced manufacturing at 2.0, Earth and geospatial, aerospace and batteries at 1.0, and cybersecurity at 0.0.
| Field | Grade | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Computer science | 4.0/5 | Eight Upper School listings, from Design Thinking to Advanced Topics, where teams build cloud-hosted applications |
| AI & data | 3.0/5 | Advanced Computer Science II builds data-driven web applications; no AI course found |
| Biotechnology | 3.0/5 | A two-year biology study in grades 7 and 8; Advanced Biology teaches polymerase chain reaction |
| Robotics | 2.0/5 | An Arduino project in Computer Science II; a Rube Goldberg machine in Science 6; one Middle School award, in 2017 |
| Advanced manufacturing | 2.0/5 | Engineering Principles with a laser cutter and 3D printers; a Tinkerspace |
| Clean energy | 2.0/5 | Energy and environment units in Science 5 and 6; no Upper School course or club |
| Earth & geospatial | 1.0/5 | Weather and geology units in Science 5 and 6; nothing in the Upper School lists |
| Aerospace | 1.0/5 | A 2023 Minimester course, Learn to Fly, and an astrophotography expedition |
| Batteries | 1.0/5 | An energy-storage unit in Science 6; nothing on batteries found |
| Cybersecurity | 0.0/5 | Nothing found |
How strong is this school in AI, data science and computer science compared with other schools?
Based on the school’s own course lists, computer science is a strength at Trinity School: the Upper School lists eight computer science courses, from Design Thinking to Advanced Topics in Computer Science, where teams build cloud-hosted applications with version control. We found no artificial-intelligence course, so AI and data science grade lower, at 3.0 out of 5.
| Course | What it covers | Term |
|---|---|---|
| Design Thinking | A STEAM-infused introduction: coding, 3D design and data analysis | Fall |
| Computer Science I | P5.js, HTML and CSS | Fall |
| Computer Science II | Software and hardware together, with Arduino | Spring |
| Advanced Computer Science I | Python through games and puzzles, and algorithms | Fall |
| Advanced Computer Science II | Data-driven client-server web applications, data journalism and algorithmic bias | Spring |
| Advanced Topics in Computer Science | Cloud-hosted applications built in teams with version control, with a required Public Service component | Fall and spring |
The list also holds Digital Storytelling. The technology page names Processing, Java, Python, HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Arduino, an Upper School Computer Lab and a Tinkerspace with 3D printers, and HackTrin, a hackathon the students run, held its thirteenth edition on May 9, 2026. The school says it no longer offers Advanced Placement, so there is no AP result to compare, and we found no AI course and no external contest result.
How early does STEM begin, and does it become substantially more advanced as my child gets older?
Based on the school’s own pages, STEM begins early at Trinity School, with technology introduced in Kindergarten and science and computer among the Lower School’s weekly special subjects, and it becomes more advanced through the grades: Middle School science covers energy, geology and a two-year biology study, and the Upper School adds eight computer science courses. The Lower School pages list no courses, so that stage rests on general statements.
| Stage | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Lower School | Technology from Kindergarten, a lower school computer lab, and weekly special subjects that include science and computer | Technology page; Lower School page |
| Middle School, grades 5–8 | Science 5 on energy and environment, Science 6 on physics and geology, ending in a Rube Goldberg machine, and a two-year biology study in Science 7 and 8; the computer science department lists no courses | Middle School science page |
| Upper School, first courses | Design Thinking, Computer Science I and II, Physics in grade 9, Principles of Chemistry or Chemistry in grade 10, Engineering Principles in grades 10 to 12 | Department pages |
| Upper School, advanced | Advanced Computer Science I and II and Advanced Topics; Advanced Biology, Advanced Chemistry, calculus-based Advanced Physics and a two-credit research course | Department pages |
The graduation requirement is two years of a lab science. Computer science carries the progression from the Upper School’s first year to its last, while the sciences run from physics in grade 9 to advanced courses in grades 11 and 12. We found no robotics, engineering or computer science course name for grades K to 8.
Do students get access to advanced coursework, specialist electives and serious competitions?
Based on the school’s department lists, Trinity School offers advanced courses in computer science, calculus-based physics, chemistry, biology and research, but we found no serious competition record. The school says Advanced Placement courses are “no longer offered,” and Society for Science’s 2026 list shows one scholar from “Trinity School, New York,” with none on its 2023, 2024 or 2025 lists.
| Area | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Computer science | Advanced Computer Science I and II, and Advanced Topics in the fall and the spring | Department page |
| Science | Advanced Biology (accelerated molecular biology), Advanced Chemistry, calculus-based Advanced Physics, and Advanced Science Research: Entomology, worth two credits | Department page |
| Mathematics | Integrated Math 4 Calculus, Calculus AB and Calculus BC, Mathematical Problem Solving and Statistics | Department page |
| Competitions | One scholar from “Trinity School, New York” in 2026, for a mathematics project; none in 2023 to 2025 | Society for Science |
The research course has students carry out a project presented in multiple public forums. The list does not say how many students take each advanced course. HackTrin, the student-run hackathon, is hosted by the school and is not a contest its students enter, and we found no robotics, Science Olympiad or app-challenge result from 2023 to 2026.
Will your child be ready for jobs that don’t exist yet?
Here’s what the evidence actually shows for Trinity School — not what the brochure claims.
44/100 — Weak overall. Trinity’s computer science provision is advanced: the Upper School lists eight computer science courses, from Design Thinking through Advanced Computer Science II, where students build data-driven web applications, to Advanced Topics in Computer Science, where teams build cloud-hosted applications with version control, and HackTrin, a student-run hackathon for middle and high schoolers, held its thirteenth edition on May 9, 2026.
But: cybersecurity is absent, and Earth systems, aerospace and battery storage are lacking.

No student work was found evidencing these. For a school this well documented, an unrecorded programme is unlikely to be a large one.
What a family should ask about directly
- Tuition is quoted differently by each source: the school’s aid page shows a figure of $71,500 with no grade or year, Bloomberg reported $69,000 for 2025–26, and third-party sources list $66,740 for a recent year and $64,100 to $64,300 for 2023–24. Ask for the current schedule by grade, and for what tuition leaves out: the school lists some Global Engagement travel, Athletics trips, classroom supplies and its Forensics programs.
- Cybersecurity shows nothing in the course lists, Earth and geospatial, aerospace and battery storage show only a Middle School unit or a one-off offering, and the robotics evidence is one Middle School result from 2017. A student set on any of these should ask what runs outside the course list: electives, clubs, Minimester and research placements.
- The Middle School pages describe the science and mathematics courses but list no computer science courses, and the Lower School pages name no courses at all, so the grading of grades K–4 rests on general statements. The course guides sit in Issuu documents that could not be read. Ask for the course guide for the grades you are considering, and for the science and technology time in each.
- The school says Advanced Placement courses are “no longer offered,” while its mathematics list still names Calculus AB and Calculus BC. Ask how the advanced courses are described to colleges and whether students can sit AP exams.
- Admission is selective: the school takes about 60 new students in grade 9 and publishes no applicant count or acceptance rate. Niche’s student poll reports that 47 percent agree they feel safe at school, and its reviewers describe a stressful, competitive culture. Ask about acceptance statistics, counselling and the support a student under strain can reach.

Our Story
Labore et virtute.
William Huddleston founded us in 1709 as a charity school at Trinity Church, and we have taught New York’s children ever since. Our families, in our Head of School’s words, “look at their relationship with us from a place of covenant, as opposed to contract.”
Vocation
The conversation between student and teacher is the heart of our school.
Obligation
We must give our students the tools of rigorous and passionate intellectual inquiry and self-expression so they can grow.
Promise
We will serve our neighbors, and we will live fully in our city, embodying and celebrating its diversity.
Means
Labore et virtute: we ask Trinity families, alumni and friends to join us in taking on this high calling.
Milestones
William Huddleston founds us as a charity school at Trinity Church.
