History
The school was opened in September 10, 1951 as Trinity Parish School by Charles Strum Nauss II, a former student of Grace Fernald. The original campus was at 2112 Wynnton Road teaching grades from kindergarten to 4th grade, with an emphasis on learning through sight, hearing, and the kinesthetic approach pioneered by Fernald.
