Head of School

Ms Pereira-Raso

Holy Trinity School was founded in 1981 by members of Holy Trinity Church in Thornhill and pupil numbers grew rapidly. Within two years HTS had relocated to North York, re-locating to the present site in 1985. The school building underwent a major expansion in 2003.

Music, drama, athletics, community service and leadership are the pillars of the school’s co-curricular programme and students often participate in most of these areas. They also have an opportunity to extend classroom learning by joining a range of after-school clubs, which include science olympics, public speaking and creative writing contests across all divisions.

Student leadership comes in many forms, including school prefects, house captains, club leaders and Student Council. Students also have the chance to grow skills and develop personally by taking advantage of community service opportunities that exist both locally and as far away as Tanzania and Belize. 

Values and vision

Holy Trinity School focuses on the Christian values love, joy, peace, hope, patience, and self-control. Its vision is to be a leader in education, creating a personalised learning environment for its students and helping develop the skills, knowledge they need to thrive in the world.

Under the guidance of experienced teachers, students are encouraged to challenge themselves, try something new and pursue their strengths.

The HTS community is committed to environmental sustainability and places itself as a leading educator in this field.
