Concurrent Credit
Several classes offer college credit through local colleges and universities
to qualified juniors and seniors. Students pay the tuition costs directly
to the college offering the credit. The classes are taught at Trinity by
Trinity faculty. Students must have a 3.0
cumulative grade point average to be eligible to take classes for concurrent
credit.
Homework
The amount of homework assigned is appropriate for a college-preparatory
school. Depending on the difficulty of the class and student readiness,
homework requirements may total ten to fifteen hours each week, depending on
the student's usage of EXCEL and classroom study opportunities.
