Holy Trinity Clifton School

By Paula Watkins

Holy Trinity Clifton School at 2117 Payne Street opened for the 2019-2020 school year to serve children with language-based learning differences. We are the very first Catholic school of its kind. Of the enrolled students who are Catholic, they represent 13 parishes in our Archdiocese.

The first part of the year has been amazing as we watch our children grow and flourish in their learning! They are becoming confident in their academic abilities and amazing us every day with their progress. During conferences in October, we heard testimonials from parents that warmed our hearts. We are sharing them so you know first-hand from families about how we are transforming lives:
  • “The decision to switch to Holy Trinity Clifton School was the best decision we have ever made. It has truly changed all of our lives, not just at school but at home as well. No more hours of struggling with homework. No more tears and feelings of failing from both us and our child. It truly is a blessing to have this opportunity available.” Parent of Grade 4 Student
  • “Our son is such an intelligent little guy in so many areas while he struggles in others. Holy Trinity Clifton School has helped him advance overall with the individualized plan. Take a tour and see the amazing facility and all that it has to offer. Learn about the different strategies that are tailored to each child helping to focus on their individual needs. This place is amazing!” Parent of Grade 2 Student
  • “My grandson seems to be very excited to learn every day. He talks about his school with a positive attitude.” Grandmother of Grade 4 Student
  • “I am very impressed with the administrative and teaching staff. I can tell there is a caring and open atmosphere for all these children to learn. My granddaughter certainly seems very comfortable with her teachers, which tells me she feels accepted and welcome to explore education and express herself.” Grandmother of Grade 4 Student
  • “If there is a need for some special attention in critical areas of development and education, Holy Trinity Clifton School would be a great place to investigate. Should your child need to know they are OK just as they are, and that there are different ways to learn, this school can help!” Grandmother of Grade 3 Student
  • “I can honestly say that my grandson is a different child due to Holy Trinity Clifton School. It has been prayers answered.” Grandmother of Grade 2 Student
  • *My daughter leaves for school every day happy and comes home every day happy. She will tell you, she doesn’t LIKE her new school, she LOVES her new school. ~ Parent, Grade 2
  • “The best thing about the school for all of us is that my daughter is actually learning, really learning, and understanding the work. The learning is taking place in an environment where she is being esteemed and encouraged and enjoyed. The administration, the teachers, and therapists do not expect her to fit the mold of a child in a typical classroom but instead are utilizing special techniques and strategies to help her learn. And it is working!” Parent of Grade 2 Student
  • “I think a lot of people may not realize the positive impact that having your child in the right school environment can have on all aspects of your family life. When your child is doing well in school, so many other things that you never even considered seem to fall into place, and life just becomes a little easier. Your child’s attitude changes and things that used to be a fight are not a struggle anymore. Your child has more confidence and is able to relate to everyone a little better. Tensions are less and there is more time to enjoy each other.” Parent of Grade 2 Student
  • “Is my child happy? Oh my goodness, yes! She loves going to school! Her self-esteem has sky-rocketed!” Parent of Grade 4 Student
  • “The principal, teachers, and therapist communicate so well with the parents. They really take the time to get to know you and your children. You feel like finally there are people that get it and understand the whole picture. They also focus on your child’s strengths and help to build them up in those areas. It truly is a collaborative approach.” Parent of Grade 4 Student
