Trinity-Pawling School
Overview
At Trinity-Pawling, everything we do is shaped to the needs of boys in the 21st century. We teach and learn from experience. Our programs are active and applied — packed with opportunities for hands-on learning. We reimagine what’s possible in boys’ education. The results are transformational. Trinity-Pawling offers a holistic educational experience to 275 boys in grades 7-12 and postgraduates. The School delivers entrepreneurial and ambitious programs that provide opportunities for collaboration and camaraderie, independent exploration, and the discovery of gifts and talents. With over 100 academic courses, 18 AP courses, 13 athletic teams competing in the New England Founders League, and a multitude of extracurricular activities, our students have many opportunities to reimagine and own their education.
Academics
Summary: Our academic program culminates in THE PRACTICUM FOR CIVIC LEADERSHIP, a three-part exercise in social entrepreneurship, intellectual exploration, and collaborative engagement — it includes Winter Projects, Global Collaborative Challenge, and Senior Independent Projects. These programs are purpose-built to develop problem-solving skills, promote interdisciplinary exploration, and teach important communication skills. Trinity-Pawling’s Wintersession program is an intensive three-week period in December where students' sole academic focus is their Practicum projects. Our students are active participants and co-creators — in and out of the classroom. The Practicum provides many opportunities for teamwork and camaraderie, independent study, and the discovery of gifts and talents. THE INSTITUTES FOR ACTIVE LEARNING are composed of four Institutes focused on Leadership, Citizenship, Environmental Stewardship, and Entrepreneurship. These dynamic tracks of study are meant to stretch the mind and encourage exploration beyond the textbooks. The Institute leaders are passionate about their subject matter and generous with their time, guiding students to become strong leaders and gain the skills and self-awareness to navigate a complex and ever-changing society. Students participate in exciting and challenging activities that focus on each Institute.
