History
On October 3, 1988, Trinity Lutheran Preschool officially opened its doors under the direction of Linda Merritt, wife of the pastor at that time, Rev. Glenn F. Merritt. By the spring of 2004, under the leadership of Rev. James Mavis, the congregation prayerfully decided to begin the necessary work to determine the feasibility of the long-awaited elementary school. After conducting surveys the congregation made plans to open Trinity Lutheran Classical School in the school year 2008-2009. Since 2008, Trinity Lutheran Classical School has expanded its teaching curriculum to Preschool, Kindergarten - 8th grade. Presently, we serve the congregation and community with a capacity of more than 70 students, offering both morning and afternoon classes, weekdays throughout the school year.
Specialties
Trinity Lutheran Classical School is a private Christian school serving Miles City, MT. We teach preschool, Kindergarten - 8th grade. Our purpose is to provide Christ-centered instruction through a classical curriculum that is challenging, academic, and bible-based in a caring and nurturing environment. Children learn through using all five senses, so in the classroom, you will see role-playing, block structures, classifying, sorting, counting, smelling, tasting, and touching. Children may be noisy and active; but learning is taking place. Our curriculum covers the following areas: Spiritual growth and worship, language development, reading, mathematics, health, science, social studies, physical education, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, arts, crafts, and music. This curriculum is achieved by dividing our time between teacher directed activities and individual, free-choice activities. We encourage children to write using D'Nealian handwriting which they will use in the Miles City Public Schools.
