Trinity Christian School

What Trinity Christian School does

Trinity Christian School is a private K-12 classical Christian school headquartered in Prescott, Arizona, founded in 2003 by a group of parents at Grace Baptist Church in Chino Valley. It operates across two Prescott campuses — 1212 Warrior Way (Upper School, grades 7-12) and 1077 Mogollon Road (Grammar School, K-6) — and as of November 2024 serves approximately 506 students with 45 teachers, 96 total team members, and a community of 180 volunteers. The school employs the Trivium-based classical education methodology (Grammar, Logic, Rhetoric stages), integrates a biblical worldview across all subjects, and offers Latin language instruction, athletics (CAA competition), and fine arts programs. It holds full dual accreditation from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Cognia, and runs the differentiated SWAN (Students With Accommodation Needs) program for students with learning needs.

Its business model is tuition-driven subscription revenue (annual billing cadence) supplemented by donations, Arizona State Tax Credit scholarships via partner organizations ACSTO and AZTO, fundraising events (Gala, magazine sponsorships, restaurant nights), and business partnerships. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families inquire online, schedule campus tours, and apply through RenWeb, with community referrals and pastoral partnerships fueling the funnel. Trinity publishes a bi-annual Flourishing Magazine and hosts the Kingdom Vision Parenting podcast to support top-of-funnel acquisition.

The institution is currently in a multi-year capital expansion: it acquired 17.5 acres in 2018-2019, completed the Phase 1 Warrior Way campus in 2021 (≈$11.5M), and broke ground in December 2024 on Phase 2 (K-8 Children's Classroom Building, amphitheater, playground), funded in part via the $5M Great Expectations Campaign ($2.7M raised to date). Target enrollment is up to 800 students. Governance is by an independent Board of Directors; Headmaster Kyle Maestri leads day-to-day operations. No outside private equity, parent company, or institutional investors are identified in the source material.
