About Boston Trinity

Boston Trinity Academy is a Christian, coed, college preparatory middle and high school. We educate a diverse student body from across the greater Boston area in grades 6-12. We are committed to providing an exceptional academic experience that inspires each student to excel in a Christ-centered community where they are known and loved. Our graduates demonstrate the intellect, leadership, and moral character they learn here as they succeed at numerous top colleges and universities and in life beyond.

Upper School Academics

Boston Trinity Academy provides Upper School students with a rigorous and well-rounded college preparatory education, grounded in the liberal arts tradition.

Our passionate and highly qualified faculty challenges students not only to gain a body of knowledge but also to deeply explore standards of truth, beauty, and wisdom in a curriculum that integrates faith and learning. From their 9th grade Humanities class to their 12th grade Senior Symposium project, Upper School students learn to transform their questions into real and creative contributions of their own, and so discover a vision for their lives.

We expect all of our graduates to attend four-year colleges and we prepare them for success when they get there. Every student takes at least three of the thirteen AP (Advanced Placement) courses we offer. Our College Counselor is available to students starting in the 9th grade, and throughout 11th and 12th grade all students participate in a comprehensive college counseling program.
