• Conducts a middle school program (grades 5 through 8) in a facility in the Hyde Park neighborhood of the City of St. Louis. Students in this area face severe risks to their well-being and have the highest percentage of risk indicators in the city: highest unemployment, drop-out rate, number of single parent families, drug-related crime, lead-levels in children, and derelict housing. In this community that experiences generational poverty, Holy Trinity Academy strives to accomplish system change through education.
• Has been providing a quality Catholic education as a St. Louis Archdiocesan elementary school for more than 150 years. Began operation as an "embedded" NativityMiguel middle school (grades 5 through 8) in September 2006 and has a current enrollment of 27 students, with a maximum enrollment of 40.
• Develops peacemaking skills in all students through the Peacemaker Program. This curriculum provides students with skills in empathy, problem-solving, impulse control, anger management, and practical ways to become peacemakers at school, in the family, and in the community.
• Features Multiage Learning, an instructional design where students from two grades are blended together in a learning community that progresses with the same teacher for two years. It is an environment in which teachers continuously track student progress and where relationships are strengthened. Classrooms foster peer tutoring and allow peer modeling to take place.
• Features Education Through Music and the Arts, a restructuring of the curriculum to fully integrate the arts with the academic program. Artisans and teachers use the arts as tools for teaching academic subjects. The approach pools the efforts of administrators, academic teachers, and teaching artisans to produce students who go on to secondary school and college.
