The Practicum Advantage
Experiential Learning at its best
The Practicum for Civic Leadership — Trinity-Pawling’s signature program for experiential learning — plays an essential role in our students’ college process. Each of the three parts of the Practicum will find its way into almost every senior’s college portfolio. Additionally, the Practicum has its own section of the transcript, allowing college admissions teams to see the journey each student has gone through during their time at Trinity-Pawling.
Winter Project
These interdisciplinary projects allow students to showcase their interests and achievements outside of the traditional classroom setting.
Global Collaborative Challenge
Many college essays and interview questions will reference collaboration, teamwork, and overcoming obstacles. The GCC provides each of our students an opportunity to master these skills, discuss important topics, and prove their successes in addressing their assigned global issues.
Senior Independent Project
An opportunity for Trinity-Pawling seniors to showcase their research and real-world experiences in a particular subject or industry. Seniors may also pursue a Diploma with Distinction — an honor given to students who showcase exceptional independence and determination throughout their SIP process.
Trinity-Pawling has an excellent community with caring teachers, coaches, and students. The classes and signature programs are engaging and they prepare students for a high level of academics in higher education and overall success in life.Trinity-Pawling Parent
