HOLY TRINITY PARISH SCHOOL

What HOLY TRINITY PARISH SCHOOL does

Holy Trinity Parish School (legal name: Holy Trinity Catholic School) is a private, nonprofit Catholic grade school founded in 1883 and operating under the governance of the Archdiocese of Louisville at two campuses in Louisville, Kentucky. The St. Matthews campus at 423 Cherrywood Road serves Pre-K through 8th grade with a faith-centered, college-preparatory curriculum aligned to Archdiocese Catholic School Standards; the Clifton campus at 2117 Payne Street, opened in 2019, serves grades K-8 exclusively for students with language-based learning differences and is the only school in Kentucky accredited through the Orton-Gillingham Academy. The school delivers core academics (literacy, math, science, Spanish), faith formation including Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and Theology of the Body, sacrament preparation, athletics through the Catholic Schools Athletic Association, and a performing-arts program anchored by the ~500-seat Eifler Theater.

The business model is a recurring tuition subscription with three streams: tiered tuition at St. Matthews ($9,365 single-child parishioner to $21,715 for three+ children; $14,750 non-parishioner; $9,865 Pre-K), a single $20,680 Clifton rate, plus ancillary revenue from annual giving, Eagle and George Kurtz endowments managed through the Catholic Foundation of Louisville, Flik dining services, YMCA aftercare, and a $200 non-refundable application fee. Distribution is direct to consumer families via the RenWeb/FACTS Family Portal, monthly campus tours, and Catholic Education Foundation financial aid — three consecutive years of which have awarded every applying family with demonstrated need. The school's customer base is Louisville-metro families across two differentiated segments: a general Pre-K-8 population and a specialized learning-differences K-8 population, both supported by a faculty in which 83% hold Master's Degrees.

Technology infrastructure is pedagogical rather than platform-native: the Orton-Gillingham multisensory literacy method, MAP Growth adaptive assessments administered three times yearly, Follett Destiny library, and student-facing enrichments in coding, robotics, and 3D printing. The Clifton campus differentiates on credentialed methodology (Orton-Gillingham Academy accreditation, ~1:5 teacher-student ratio, dedicated speech/occupational therapists and reading specialists), while St. Matthews differentiates on credentialed faculty density, dual National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence awards (2007, 2017), and a no-cut athletics policy with over 95% student participation and approximately 40% participation in performing arts. The institution reports no venture capital, private equity, or public ownership, and operates under parish and Archdiocesan oversight.

Others

• Assumption High School: Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic high school that is the primary 'feeder' destination for Holy Trinity 8th-grade graduates; related as a downstream Archdiocese peer in the Catholic education pipeline rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• St. Raphael the Archangel Catholic School: Another Louisville-area Catholic K-8 school operating under the Archdiocese of Louisville, competing for the same parish-aligned family segment with tiered tuition and faith formation programming.
• St. Albert the Great Catholic School: Louisville Catholic grade school serving K-8 in the Archdiocese, offering a directly comparable faith-based curriculum, tuition tiers, and parish-affiliated family market.
• St. Agnes School: Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic grade school with directly comparable K-8 structure, parish-tiered tuition, and faith-based curriculum competing for the same enrollment pool.
• Nativity Academy at St. Boniface: Louisville Catholic grade school focused on faith-based education for a similar demographic, including mission-driven financial aid — directly comparable tuition-funded, faith-affiliated K-8 model.
• St. Patrick Catholic School: Louisville Catholic grade school in the same Archdiocese, offering directly comparable Pre-K through 8 faith-based education with parish-tiered tuition.
• St. Margaret Mary Catholic School: Nearby Archdiocese of Louisville Catholic K-8 school drawing from the same parish and tuition-driven family pool, with similar faith formation and academic programming.

Broad incumbents

• Kentucky Country Day School: Well-known Louisville-area private school (PK-12) competing for the same tuition-paying families, with a broader grade span and secular curriculum in contrast to Holy Trinity's Catholic K-8 niche.
• Louisville Collegiate School: Established private K-12 school in Louisville with a broader portfolio than Holy Trinity's K-8 niche, drawing from the same affluent private-school family pool but without the Catholic/faith-based specialization.

Emerging players

• The Summit School (for language-based learning differences): Specialty K-8 program serving students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences; overlaps most directly with Holy Trinity's Clifton Campus specialty offering rather than the St. Matthews general program.
