"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
- Booker T. Washington

Students who attend the Trinity Yard School arrive with an invaluable education that most western students lack. TYS students take responsibility for themselves in their daily chores of survival and work together in an elevated social order by taking very little for granted and sharing what they have to allow everyone an equal chance to succeed. The students exhibit an incredible enthusiasm towards life and learning, against all odds and under pressures unimaginable to most. For this reason alone the Trinity Yard School is dedicated to serving the youth with a curriculum focused on practical skills and knowledge.

We have decided to offer lunch to the students twice weekly to assist the very real pressures around daily survival. Many of our students have very limited support from family and are expected to feed themselves from a much earlier age then students in the western world.

Students attending TYS come from three villages surrounding the area of Cape Three Points, including Ketakor, Akwidea and Cape Three Points. Our first graduating class of 6 students completed in May of 2011 leaving 19 students who will be joined by the in-coming class in October of 2011.

The nineteen current students of Trinity Yard School are:
