Trinity takes into account many factors involving the decision to enroll a child. In all cases, the most important factor is the match between the School and the applicant.

Trinity is committed to enrolling a diverse and balanced student body. We welcome students of all races, creeds, national or ethnic origins. Our priority is to ensure that all students admitted will be happy and successful in Trinity's  curriculum. Members of Trinity Episcopal Church, alumni, and siblings currently enrolled are given priority if all other standards have been met.

For more information visit the Admission page of our website or contact the Admission Office. 

A child must be four by August 31 to attend Prekindergarten and five for Kindergarten—no exceptions will be made.

Trinity’s tuition factors in all the major expenses that are necessary each school year. Incidentals including lunch, uniforms, and aftercare are not included in tuition. There may be some additional small expenses that arise throughout the school year; we keep those to a minimum.

For more information about tuition visit our Affordability and Tuition Assistance page. 

Yes, Trinity awards around $1,000,000 annually in tuition assistance. Need-based Tuition Assistance is awarded on an annual basis and is available for Prekindergarten through Eighth Grade. Please refer to the Affordability and Tuition page on our website for more information on Tuition Assistance and the Gaudet Scholarship.  

Uniforms are required for students in Prekindergarten through Eighth Grade. Trinity Episcopal School has partnered with Inka’s Uniforms and Lands' End to provide affordable, quality uniforms for our students in Les Enfants through Eighth Grade. Les Enfants uniforms are optional. Pink uniform clothing is permitted in the Pink House for Prekindergarten and Kindergarten students only. 

Trinity asks that parents take an active role in monitoring their child(ren)’s appearance. We believe our dress code is a reflection of the School’s mission, and the student experience is improved when the faculty does not need to spend significant time policing student dress issues. 

Further Information can be found on the Uniform page of our website. For questions please email marketing@trintiynola.com.

Additionally, TPG sponsors a gently used uniform exchange which is free to parents and open during the school day. For questions or to make an appointment outside typical school hours, please email tpguniforms@gmail.com.
