We are grateful to the friends and supporters who enable students from all over the Boston area to attend a rigorous college preparatory school. In order to be a school for the city, Boston Trinity Academy has relied on the dedication of its faculty, the generosity of financial supporters, and the assistance of volunteers. We are always looking for people to invest their time, talent, and resources in the education of a remarkable group of students.
With 64 percent of our students receiving financial aid in 2009-10, annual scholarships total more than $1,000,000 of a $2.8 million budget. Without the investment and support of many, these young people might not receive the education that will give them the tools to achieve their dreams.
Salaries and benefits for our teaching faculty comprise the largest percentage of Boston Trinity Academy’s $2.8 million operating budget. Below is a list of some of the other annual expenditures your donation will cover in order to sustain our high level of academic excellence.
