Curriculum

At Trivium Prep, 6th grade students have seven class periods with seven teachers. The classes are: Literature and Composition, Math, Latin, American History, Introduction to Fine Arts, Life Science, and Physical Education, along with recess and lunch. Students will receive their class schedule during Student Orientation in August.

Save the Date for Student Orientation - Tuesday, August 2

Mark your calendar for Trivium Prep Student Orientation on Tuesday, August 2. This day is set aside for students to tour the campus and follow their class schedule, as we get ready for the start of school. Students arrive in uniform and typically meet in the gym for words of welcome. Students will then pick up their class schedules and locker assignments. Students walk through their class schedule change (5 minutes per class) to meet their teachers. Student mentors will be on-hand to guide our 6th grade students. Orientation is for students only. Parents will have the opportunity to tour the classrooms and meet their child's teacher during Curriculum Night, early on in the school year.
