No. Trilogy is simply a small private school. We accept students of all faiths and backgrounds.

Yes. We accept all of the scholarships administered by Step Up for Students. However, while we accept the Family Empowerment Scholarship for students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA), we are not a therapeutic or special-education school, and are not equipped to provide interventions.

No. Trilogy provides a flexible approach to learning, but is not equipped to serve students who require specialized instruction, dedicated classroom support, or therapeutic services. We do not have paraprofessionals, special education teachers, learning specialists, or therapists on staff.

We encourage families who are unsure to talk openly with us during the admissions process so that we can determine whether our program can appropriately meet their child's educational needs.

Ratios in our elementary program vary from 1:10 in lower grades, to 1:15 in upper grades. All middle and high school experiences have a 1:16 threshold, though they are often smaller.

Our school community reflects the diversity of Gainesville itself. Our families come from a wide variety of backgrounds, professions, cultures, and family structures, and there is no single “typical” Trilogy family. What they share is a commitment to their children’s education and to a welcoming, engaged school community.

Yes. Trilogy uses a mixed-age classroom model. Our elementary students are grouped into K, 1st, 2nd/3rd, and 4th/5th grade classrooms, while our middle and high school students are grouped into 6th/7th, 7th/8th, 9th/10th, and 11th/12th.

Within those classrooms, teachers also use flexible small groups based on what students are learning and their readiness for particular skills and concepts. This allows students to receive additional practice when they need it and greater challenge when they're ready for it.

We use a variety of established curricula and resources throughout K–12. In elementary school, students use Bridges in Mathematics, a hands-on program that builds strong mathematical understanding through problem solving, visual models, and manipulatives. For reading and language arts, we use Harcourt StoryTown materials along with explicit phonics, spelling, and Science of Reading-based instruction.

Elementary students also study science, history, art, and music and choose from electives such as sports, painting, drama, and filmmaking.

In middle and high school, our core programs include Open Up Resources for math, literature-based English, FOSS for hands-on science, and Core Knowledge for history. Students also choose from engaging elective experiences such as drama, gardening, geocaching, peer mediation, criminology, tiny house building, and more. Our teachers supplement these programs with additional high-quality resources and materials when they enhance or extend student learning.

We believe students need time throughout the day to move, play, socialize, and recharge.

During our seven-hour school day, Elementary Students have 15 minutes to reconnect with friends before classes begin, a 30-minute outdoor morning recess for snack and play, and 45 minutes outside for lunch and playtime. They also have an hour of supervised indoor quiet time each day when they can relax, read, work on independant projects, or finish classwork. At the end of the day, we set aside 15–30 minutes for classroom clean-up and time to play, talk, and connect with teachers and friends.

Our Middle and High School Students have ten minutes between classes to go outside, socialize, take care of personal needs, and prepare for their next bout of learning. They also have a 45-minute lunch period, along with time at the beginning and end of each day to relax, socialize, and connect with teachers and friends.
