Traip is a small school and a generally tight-knit community. Overall, the education is average, but there are many members of faculty who are outstanding. It definitely has its issues, but overall is a good school.

it was a very connected experience and you had a close relationship with your teachers. You were able to work closely and learn on a different path than typically and it allowed you to study and learn more in your own way.

This school has a lot of diversity and loves to create a happy and safe environment; However, they need to work on their academics. The schools lacks diversity in the terms of classes. They have the basic classes that every school needs to have but they do not have any fun academics that help students really find what they are passionate about. For example; Home economics, poetry, or creative writing.
