A member of the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA), Holy Trinity Classical Christian School provides students with a distinctly Christian and classical education. HTCCS is committed to helping students develop their intellectual gifts to the highest standards of the classical tradition so they may grow in knowledge and wisdom, and in the love of our Lord, and wisely use their gifts in the service of others and for the glory of Christ and his Church.

With 60 faculty and staff members serving two campuses, Holy Trinity Classical Christian School emphasizes Latin language studies (2nd-12th), mathematics, classical literature, and history. Our high school Humane Letters program provides rigorous preparation for collegiate studies and challenges even the most academically motivated students. All students are required to take Latin as a functional component of the Holy Trinity curriculum; Advanced Placement courses are offered in Latin, and Calculus, with plans to expand to Statistics and Physics and other offerings as the school grows.

Student Enrollment & Class Size370 students are served at HTCCS from PreK2-12th grade. The Upper School Students (grades 7-12) begin with daily chapel followed by 55-minute year long classes. Art, Physical Education, and Music are required weekly for all grades.

The House System is modeled after the programs of the British boarding schools where students traditionally lived in actual houses and friendly competition was a natural development. Honoring our Christian faith, the five HTCCS houses are: St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John, and St. Paul.

In 7th grade, students are assigned to Houses by the administration. The House community is a natural breeding ground for encouragement, personal growth, and social connectedness. The House System is a distinguished tradition that serves both student and school by encouraging excellence and knitting the students to the culture of the school, increasing both appreciation for and loyalty to community and peers.
