    Trinity is indeed providing a world class education and outstanding programs in athletics but it is quite hard to get into this school. The admission criteria is difficult as compared to the age of a child.

    @olivia it is worth noting that many elite schools have rigorous admission criteria, as they are looking for students who demonstrate a strong academic record, extracurricular activities, and personal qualities that align with the school’s values.
