Trinity Academy

What Trinity Academy does

Trinity Academy is a private, nonprofit K-12 Christian school operating two campuses on a single 80-acre site in east Wichita, Kansas. Founded in 1994 by three church-connected couples and operating as a 501(c)(3), the school serves families who are actively involved in a Bible-believing church and integrates a Christ-centered worldview across academics, athletics, and co-curriculars rather than confining it to Bible class. Programs span a K-8 school (Kindergarten through 8th grade) and a college-preparatory High School (grades 9-12) offering a concurrent credit program that produces an average of 30 college credit hours per graduate, an average ACT of 24.6 versus 19.4 nationally, 13 varsity sports, and a 96% four-year college placement rate.

The underlying technology stack is conventional for the segment: FACTS (RenWeb) serves as the student information system, online grade/attendance portal, and financial/billing platform; Google Workspace supports internal operations; Inscribe Reporting handles digital safety incident documentation; and a 1:1 Chromebook program issues devices to high school students that become their property at graduation. There is no proprietary platform, no AI/ML capability, and no public or partner-facing API.

The revenue model is tuition-driven, with K-12 tuition ranging from $9,950 (Kindergarten enrolling by March 1) to $14,975 (Grades 9-12) for the 2026-27 school year and 2-4% annual increases layered on top. A $150 application fee, a $450 annual enrollment fee, athletic participation fees ($200-$225 per season), and a subscription-based Extended Care program ($50-$150/month) generate supplementary recurring revenue. Above the operating budget, the Trinity Business Center — an 8-acre on-campus commercial development housing tenants such as Omnicut Motivational Fitness Center (2021) and Valley State Bank (2022) — functions as a long-term endowment, and a robust donor pipeline funds more than $1,000,000 in annual financial aid to roughly 40% of the student body.

Direct peers

• Bishop Carroll Catholic High School: Catholic faith-based high school serving grades 9-12 in Wichita. Competes for the same private, faith-affiliated high school segment as Trinity's high school program.
• St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School: Catholic K-8 school in Wichita. Directly comparable to Trinity's K-8 program for faith-affiliated families at the elementary and middle school levels.
• Classical School of Wichita: Faith-rooted K-12 classical Christian school in Wichita. Competes head-to-head with Trinity for Christian families seeking rigorous, Christ-centered K-12 education in the same metro area.
• Sunrise Christian Academy: Faith-based PreK-12 Christian school in the Wichita metro area (Bel Aire) with athletics and a comparable Christ-centered mission. Directly competes for the same pool of Christian families in Wichita.
• Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School: Catholic high school in Wichita with college-prep academics and athletics comparable to Trinity. A direct substitute for Wichita Christian families evaluating private faith-based high schools.

Regional players

• Berean Academy: Faith-based K-12 Christian school in Elbing, Kansas (about an hour from Wichita). Comparable Christ-centered mission and college-prep orientation; competes in a slightly different geographic catchment.
• Wheaton Academy: Faith-based Christian high school in West Chicago, Illinois. Comparable college-prep, Christ-centered model with athletics; useful comparable for trajectory of a regional Christian secondary school.
• Prestonwood Christian Academy: Large faith-based K-12 Christian school in Plano, Texas. Comparable Christ-centered, college-prep model with athletics and fine arts, illustrative of the scale ceiling for a regional faith-based K-12 operator.

Broad incumbents

• Wichita Collegiate School: Established non-faith-based private K-12 school in Wichita. Competes for college-prep-oriented families willing to pay premium tuition, but without Trinity's faith-based differentiation.
• The Independent School: Long-standing private K-12 school in Wichita. A broader incumbent in Wichita's private school market that competes for tuition-paying families not specifically seeking faith-based education.
