Established in 1973, Holy Trinity Lutheran School's purpose is to assist parents in their most important God-given responsibility to bring up their children "in the training and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4b).
Our faculty shares the heartfelt desire of those Christian parents who entrust their precious children to us. Holy Trinity is not merely a private school. We consider Christian education to be the most complete education available, dealing with all aspects of the individual - soul, mind and body.

your child - both academically and spiritually.

Above all, we are a Christian school whose primary purpose
is to impress upon students the blessings
of God’s love for us in Christ Jesus.

Non-Member Enrollment

The mission of Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church and School is to spread the good news of the Gospel to all the world. Children are no exception. Our church welcomes the children of non-member families to attend our school based on the following criteria:

1. The family would first meet with the student’s teacher and the principal for an overview of the school and be given the non-member enrollment application

2. Upon approval of the student’s application, a second meeting would be arranged among the family, the Principal, the Pastor, and a School Committee member to review the application and further discuss the possibility of enrolling their child(ren) in our school.

3. Should the family wish to continue the pursuit of our school as an option for their child, they will be given an agreement regarding conduct and tuition, which will include the following:

a. A complete and unconditional understanding that any conduct detrimental to the education of other students or in opposition to the teachings of Holy Scripture will not be tolerated. Repetition of such conduct can lead to dismissal from school. The parents would be notified immediately and a meeting would be held in a timely manner with the teacher, Principal, Pastor, and the Chairman of the School Committee.

b. An agreement to pay the following tuition:

      I. $2,500 per year – Preschool
   II. $3,000 per year – Kindergarten
   iii. $4,000 per year – 1st – 8th Grade
     iv. After the first child, a $1,000 discount would be applied to each younger child.
      v. This tuition can be paid per semester or monthly.

c. A statement which will include a review of the child(ren)’s continued enrollment at our school at the end of the school year.

Academics

Holy Trinity Lutheran School maintains high scholastic standards in all subjects for
grades 4k-8. Our curriculum at Holy Trinity meets or exceeds the academic requirements for elementary and junior high education set down by the state of South Carolina. Students of Holy Trinity have consistently scored higher than the South Carolina and national average on standardized testing (We use Iowa Test of Basic Skills).

Not only does Holy Trinity value success in academics but also in personal character growth. We strive to support the teachings of core values of Jesus’ love, which are first taught in the home, by encouraging respect, responsibility, self-control, and other Fruits of the Spirit. We believe this spiritual foundation is necessary to prepare the students for the temptations and difficulties they will face in their future years of high-school, college, and career.

We offer:

Small Class sizes
Low student to teacher ratio
Field trips throughout the year
Drama through presentation of plays once per year
Private, in-school piano lessons
High-standard curriculum

Graduates of Holy Trinity are successfully admitted to secondary schools in the area on the same basis as those from public junior high schools.

In short, our goal is to provide a Christ centered education with a continuing commitment to academic excellence and careful regard for the individual’s learning potential.

“Let the children come to me,
and do not forbid them,
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
