About the Trinity Preparatory School of Florida:

Trinity Preparatory School is an independent, coeducational college-preparatory school that develops ethical, resilient leaders who thrive in the pursuit of excellence, embrace diversity in thought and perspective, and grow spiritually. In alignment with our mission, we affirm our commitment to our core values: Trinity Family; Educational Excellence, both Academic and Extracurricular; Leadership and Character Development; and Faith and Spirituality.

In 1968, a dedicated group of Orlando community leaders led by the late Reverend Canon A. Rees Hay wanted to provide a quality, independent secondary education for students in Central Florida. As a result, they established Trinity Preparatory School in grades 6 through 12. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church, the school welcomes families and students from all faith traditions, cultures, and backgrounds, knowing that we are all enhanced by diversity.

Our devoted and notable faculty and staff are leaders in their field who share their knowledge and expertise with others at various professional development opportunities worldwide. Their dedication is demonstrated to our students, families, and communities both in and out of the classroom with a balance of academic rigor and wellness. Trinity’s student body and families reflect the world as they travel from the greater Orlando area and across the nation to take part in the Trinity experience.

A full-time position at Trinity Prep consists of serving as an advisor, teaching 5 classes, and assuming additional duties as assigned. For example, all faculty are expected to have a plus one, which is a major leadership responsibility outside of the classroom. This teacher-coach collaborates with other teachers and administrators in the development, evaluation, and revision of school programs to ensure students are prepared for the next grade.

Any coaching position may be coupled with a full-time position, if the applicant’s experience meets our qualifications and requirements.

As a Member of the Athletics and Physical Education Department:

Our primary commitments are to provide an opportunity for student-athletes to fully develop their athletic potential, leadership skills, and a sense of accountability to others. Through practice, training and competition, the department strives to instill in each student-athlete: good sportsmanship and personal integrity, loyalty to the group and the ability to function with others as a team, appreciation for the benefits of hard work, motivation and perseverance in both winning and losing situations, and pride in accomplishments gained through fair and honest means.

We strive to generate pride and enthusiasm in physically healthy students, alumni, and the community which Trinity Prep serves. All Trinity Prep coaches are expected to embrace the school’s philosophy of encouraging students to participate in multiple sports teams at Trinity. As a coach, your responsibility is to help develop a well-rounded, healthy student-athlete who finds value in both the attempt at and achievement of excellence.
