Trinity Presbyterian School is a Christian day school serving grades K3-12th [2] located in Montgomery, Alabama. It was founded in 1970 [3]
The school was founded by Trinity Presbyterian Church, an all-white church that resisted efforts for blacks to join the congregation. [4]
Trinity School opened in a local church in 1970 with 200 students and 15 instructors, as Montgomery county public schools were being racially integrated. Some historians have described the school as a segregation academy. [5] As of 1986,[ needs update] only two of the schools 645 students were black. [6]
Most whites who remained in the city's increasingly tiny, affluent white enclaves enrolled their children in one of its large segregation academies, each of which accepted a token number of black students—Montgomery Academy, no black students among 819; St James School, 49 out of 996; and Trinity Presbyterian, just 1 of 906.
