Purpose
Mission statement
Boston Trinity Academy educates students from diverse backgrounds in an academically demanding, Christ-centered community, inspiring them to lead lives of faith, integrity, and service.
Statement of faith
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life and that they are lost unto the eternal separation from God.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

History
Through the vision and efforts of dedicated Boston area leaders in the spheres of finance, education, and faith, Boston Trinity Academy opened its doors in September 2002. These founders shared a common goal to address one of the greatest needs for the young people of Boston - a rigorous college preparatory school founded on the principles of the Christian faith that is accessible to students from all neighborhoods, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. As a result of this vision, Boston Trinity Academy established a program of academic rigor enriched with co-curricular activities for a truly diverse student body.
In 2002, Boston Trinity Academy launched with 54 students in grades 6-9 in a rented school building on Beacon Street in Brookline. Adding a grade each year the school soon grew to 125 students, and in June 2006, the first senior class of 16 graduated - all college bound. In September of that year, the school purchased its own facility and moved to an expansive five-acre campus in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood.
Currently, Boston Trinity Academy is educating nearly 260 students in grades 6 through 12.
