“I can Make Connections…
….instead of seeing things in isolation, like so many of my peers. My time at Trinity gave me the ability to reference things I’ve done, or learned, in new situations; this whole grown-up world isn’t really that scary!

Environments Prepared
for Preparation
From the youngest learners to our most advanced students, Trinity Montessori School is committed to providing the finest education found in Charleston SC, in alignment with the methodologies of Dr. Maria Montessori.
This education isn’t simply focused on high-pressure, one-off testing experiences in which students are held to a single score: our sights are set much further into the future of every child, and the world.

Unlock your child’s ultimate potential in the TMS Elementary Academy.
1st through 6th Grade; for 6 to 12 Years Olds
The Casa dei Bambini
aka, the Children’s House! For Children 3 to 6 years of age
3K, 4K, and Kindergarten
The formation of a child’s personality isn’t an accident, nor is it predetermined: it’s a deeply involved process, undertaken by the child herself.
In a Casa classroom, children immerse themselves in the work of sensory exploration, the foundational of practical life skills, study the wide world around them and under their toes, and gain access to learning tools that facilitate the acquisition of curricular topics, like writing in cursive, decoding and reading using phonics, and getting acquainted with a wide variety of mathematical concepts.
This isn’t simply day care, or even kindergarten: Casa is a multi-year arc of development that leads to an explosion of social, emotional, and academic growth.
Infant/Toddler
for Toddlers, age 18 months to 3 years old,

Where the Montessori Magic begins!
Every human being is born with their own agency and intrinsic wants and needs, and at Trinity, your smallest explorers are given the freedom to make discoveries big and small each day.
Even at an early age, children are learning, and we must give them the space and facilitate the setting for them to take the whole world in.
