History of Trinity Academy

Since its institution in September 1991, supported by three parishes – St. Aloysius in Caldwell, Notre Dame in North Caldwell and Blessed Sacrament in Roseland – the school’s mission has provided academic excellence in the Catholic tradition. This, of course, was rooted in a long history of Catholic education on this site, first begun over 125 years ago with the Dominican Sisters, who settled in Cadlwell during the 1800s, donating land to the Archdiocese of Newark to create St. Aloysius Church and school at the Caldwell site. 

Today, Trinity Academy is the lone PreK-8 Catholic School of West Essex servicing all parishioners in the Newark Archdiocese. 

Trinity Academy teachers continue the mission of Trinity Academy today with a devotion to individual development and academic and spiritual self -actualization. All Trinity's academic instructors are New Jersey certified professionals highly qualified through experience, many with advanced degrees. These dedicated educators are supervised by the Archdiocesan Catholic Education Services (ACES) and guided by the Common Core Curriculum standards. Updating all areas of education with current research, and addressing learning styles with age appropriate techniques provide an elementary education that prepares the students for high school and beyond. 

The students of Trinity Academy learn to love the process of learning while pursuing educational goals and objectives. Students seek to share their enthusiasm and curiosity with others. They explore ways to enjoy interacting with one another fostering an awareness of caring and concern. That spirit inspires service to the local and larger world community. Through this openness and awakening, self-esteem and leadership traits evolve.

Today, Trinity Academy focuses its vision towards the future. Active partnership exists at Trinity Academy. Included in this partnership are the pastors, principal, teachers, parents, students, and community members of the West Essex area who are involved in securing the opportunity for an excellent Catholic education in their community.

Trinity Academy affords parents a choice that underscores the importance of a valuable Catholic educational experience in a community where they will Learn, Serve, Lead, and Succeed.
