Trinity Catholic School & Educare

What Trinity Catholic School & Educare does

Trinity Catholic School & Educare is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) K-8 Catholic school operating from a single campus at 2315 N Cedar St., Spokane, WA, under the Diocese of Spokane. The school was formed in 1969 from the consolidation of St. Joseph's School (founded 1905) and St. Anthony's School (founded 1928) and moved into a new $5M+ state-of-the-art facility in 2018. It serves families from St. Anthony's and St. Joseph's parishes via integrated Catholic K-8 instruction, athletics, an international 7th-8th grade exchange student program, and an embedded Educare infant-through-preschool childcare operation that runs 6:30 AM to 6 PM, enabling families to keep all children ages 0-13 on one site.

The core product portfolio comprises eight interconnected offerings on a unified campus and management structure: Trinity Catholic School K-8 as the principal product; Educare & Preschool (infant–age 13 before/after care); the Spokane Virtual Learning (SVL) partnership for math/literacy support; the Exchange Student Program; the Hot Lunch & Breakfast Program (free during 2025-2026 under USDA NSLP/SBP); the Athletics Program (Diocesan Athletic League, grades 5-8); the School Uniform Store (sole-sourced via Elder Manufacturing); and a multi-vehicle donation/endowment program. Underlying technology is conventional third-party SaaS — Sycamore for enrollment and family management, FACTS for tuition processing, SignUpGenius for volunteer scheduling, HealthePro for menu publishing, BoostMySchool for fundraising — with students using Chromebooks. No proprietary technology, patents, or trademarks are disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across five primary streams: recurring annual K-8 tuition at $7,200 per student (with Fair Share income-contingent tuition assistance administered via FACTS); one-time non-refundable $200 registration fees per student; Educare subscription childcare fees under a separate schedule; transaction-based uniform sales through Elder Manufacturing; and donations across multiple named funds, scholarship endowments, and annual campaigns. An exchange student room-and-board stream at $850/month per placement provides incremental margin. Pricing model is essentially a subscription per family per year, with optional services (uniforms, exchange student hosting) layered on, and a 20-hour family volunteer commitment or $333-$335 buyout creates a quasi-mandatory community participation obligation.

Product overview

Trinity Catholic School & Educare is a unified K-8 Catholic school with an integrated early childhood and childcare center, both operating from a single campus at 2315 N Cedar St., Spokane, WA. The core offering is Trinity Catholic School (K-8), which delivers academic instruction aligned with Catholic values alongside athletics, an exchange student program, and Spokane Virtual Learning support. The Educare & Preschool program is a tightly integrated companion — running from 6:30 AM to 6 PM daily, serving infants through preschoolers and providing before/after school care for children under 13 — so that families can keep all their children in one environment. Supporting services include a Hot Lunch & Breakfast Program (free in 2025-2026), a School Uniform Store via Elder Manufacturing, a structured volunteer and donation program with multiple named funds, and an international Exchange Student Program for 7th–8th graders. The portfolio functions as a single-entity school ecosystem where the school and Educare share the same leadership, facilities, and mission rather than operating as truly separate products.

Direct peers

• All Saints Catholic School: Another K-8 Catholic school serving Spokane under the Diocese of Spokane, directly competing for parish-connected families seeking Catholic primary education. Highly comparable in mission, grade band, and target demographic.
• Cataldo Catholic School: K-8 Catholic school in Spokane under the same Diocese, offering comparable faith-based academic programming and serving overlapping families. Most direct competitive peer in the Spokane Catholic K-8 market.
• Gonzaga Preparatory School: Jesuit Catholic high school in Spokane that serves as the primary feeder destination for Trinity graduates. Listed as a business supporter of Trinity and partners in the Catholic K-12 pipeline. Comparable in mission but serves grades 9-12.
• St. Aloysius Catholic School: Diocesan K-8 Catholic school in Spokane with similar parish-based recruitment model and tuition structure. Competes head-to-head with Trinity for working Catholic families in the Spokane metro.
• St. Thomas More Catholic School: Parish-affiliated Catholic K-8 school in the Spokane area offering faith-based education with similar grade range and tuition model. Direct competitor in the Spokane Catholic school ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Holy Family Catholic Schools: Regional Catholic school system consolidating multiple parish schools under unified administration. Comparable in mission and educational model, broader geographic reach than Trinity.
• Primrose Schools: National franchise of accredited early childhood education and care centers. Comparable to the Educare component of Trinity's business in offering structured preschool/childcare programs.
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions: National operator of childcare and early education centers. Comparable to Trinity's Educare arm in providing infant/preschool/after-school care, though Trinity combines this with K-8 education rather than pure daycare.
• Seton Catholic Schools: Multi-school Catholic K-8 system (originally St. Louis area) operating consolidated parochial schools with similar faith-based curriculum and tuition model. A scaled incumbent that demonstrates the multi-campus Catholic school model Trinity could potentially grow into.

Others

• Spokane Public Schools: Public K-12 district serving the same Spokane geography. Not a direct competitor (different mission and funding model) but shapes the local K-8 market and partners with Trinity through the Spokane Virtual Learning program.
