HMTCA-Trinity Partnership
Aspects of the Partnership
Summer Writing Institute: HMTCA students attend a summer writing institute taught by Trinity faculty in cooperation with HMTCA faculty. The institute is designed to teach college writing skills.
HMTCA Students in Trinity College Courses: Selected HMTCA students enroll in introductory-level Trinity College courses. These classes have included Calculus, and introductory courses in Philosophy, Music, English Literature, Computer Science, Chemistry, Classics, Japanese, and Psychology.
HMTCA Classes on Trinity’s Campus: Prior to the COVID pandemic, every HMTCA senior took their senior English course on Trinity’s campus. HMTCA courses at Trinity allow the high school students to get a feel for college life.
Academic Collaboration between HMTCA & Trinity: Trinity and HMTCA students and faculty collaborate through Trinity Community Learning courses and research. For example, Trinity students in Educational Studies courses may observe and contribute to classes or clubs at HMTCA.
HMTCA Events and Activities at Trinity College: HMTCA students and staff participate in events on Trinity’s campus. A highlight of these activities is the HMTCA urban beekeeping course, which uses space near the Trinfo Café to keep beehives. Students tend the hives and harvest honey.
