Frequently Asked Questions

Does Trinity Catholic Academy follow the Common Core State Standards?

Although select elements of the CCSS are incorporated into our teaching, Catholic schools in the Worcester Diocese do not endorse the CCSS. The Catholic Schools Office has done a great deal of work to write standards for our Catholic schools, modeled after the standards of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut.

How involved are Trinity students in religious activities?

Absolutely! Our students attend daily Mass at St. Mary Church once per week. In addition, each of our classes is responsible for preparing a monthly Mass or Prayer Service, which can include greeting attendees at the Mass, Readings, and special performances of the Gospel Reading.

Students in grades 2-8 also have the opportunity to be a part of our Choir that sings at Masses and in various places in the community.

What extra-curricular activities does Trinity offer?

We have a great variety of activities to choose from. For the athlete, in Fall we offer Soccer, during the winter we have both boys’ and girls’ Varsity and Junior Varsity basketball, Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleading, and Running Club in the spring. Additionally, we have a chapter of the National Junior Honor Society, a Faith in Action Team (FIAT), our Get Involved, Value Everyone group (GIVE) that makes things for charity, and Student Council.

Is there financial aid available?

Yes, there is. In early spring parents of registered children may apply for diocesan financial aid that comes from contributions to the yearly Forward in Faith campaign. Parents may submit an online application to the FACTS Management Company. Parents are usually notified of any awards by the first week of June.

Does Trinity adhere to a strict disciplinary code?

Yes, we do. Contained in our mission statement are the words “respect, compassion, and service”. Our faculty and administration strive to teach our students the true meaning of those words through their interaction. For a complete look at our disciplinary code, please refer to our Parent/Student Handbook under “Conduct”.
