My younger siblings attend middle school/high school at Trinity at Meadowview, a private, Christian school in Falls Church, VA. I am a huge fan of the education there- and the culture that goes with it. Trinity School was founded by the People of Praise, an ecumenical community, and is devoted to the pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness. The rigorous curriculum emphasizes the classics (the reading list includes the Iliad through Dostoevsky) but also very advanced math and science (physics, calculus, group theory). Students learn to think clearly and articulate their ideas intelligently. It is remarkable! This year the girl's soccer team at this school of fewer than 200 students managed to fight their way to the state championship, earning second place.
I was able to attend Trinity's Fine Arts Night this year. This is an evening in which the school shows off its choirs, invites professional singers to perform original student compositions, has poetry recitations and displays student artwork. The concert this year was impressive not only for the quality of the creative work but also for its brevity. I loved looking over the Senior's self portraits in pencil sketch- most of them were immediately recognizable and some were strikingly accurate. I encourage anyone whose curiosity has been piqued to check out the Trinity website: www.trinityschools.org
