Trinity Preparatory School is an independent college preparatory day-school for students in grades 6 to 12, in Winter Park, a suburb of Orlando. It is affiliated with the Episcopal Church and is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools.[1][2]

History

Trinity Prep was established in 1968 by Rev. Canon A Rees Hay. The first class had 173 students and served the grades 7–12.[3]

Academics

Upper school students are required to complete 22 credits in order to graduate, in English, mathematics, foreign languages, social studies, science, fine arts, computer science, life management, and physical education.[4]

Trinity Prep's Class of 2019 had 30 students recognized by the National Merit Scholarship as high scorers, and 17 students as National Merit semifinalists, more than any other school in Central Florida.[citation needed][5]

In 2019, Trinity Prep was voted a top private school for grades 9–12 as well as grades 6–8 in the Orlando Magazine[6] "Best of Orlando 2019."[7][8]

In 2019–20, Trinity Prep had 59 sports teams in 18 sports at the varsity, junior varsity, and middle school levels. Autumn-term teams include bowling, cross country, football, golf, swimming and diving, and volleyball. Winter-term teams include basketball and soccer. Spring teams include baseball, softball, lacrosse, tennis, track and field, and weightlifting.[citation needed] The Saints' traditional rival, Lake Highland Prep, has recently been replaced by other area schools that have remained in Trinity's size classification. Among these schools are The First Academy of Orlando and Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy of Melbourne.[citation needed]

Trinity Prep generally falls under the 2A size classification but competes in both 1A and 3A as well. Trinity Prep won the FHSAA All-Sports Award for Class 2A in 2002-03 and for Class 2A Private in 2003-04 and 2010–11. The All-Sports Award is awarded to the top-rated athletics program in each size classification in a given year.[citation needed]

The Boys Cross Country team has won eight state championships (1996, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016).[citation needed]
