Trinity School is a truly special place. From the moment you step onto our campus we believe you will feel it too. From the smiles and laughter on the playground to the high quality learning and teaching in the classrooms. Trinity School is a place where every child is known, valued, and celebrated.
Since 1961, Trinity has prided itself on being an institution of academic excellence with a commitment to social equity and service. Our school is in a unique position for an independent school. Situated on two campuses, one on Sand Hill Road and the other near the heart of downtown Menlo Park, we sit at the intersection of innovation and social consciousness. Our program aims to cultivate the next generation of compassionate and forward-thinking difference-makers.
As an intentionally small school focused on learners in Preschool through Grade 5, we are able to be experts in the ‘wonder years’ of childhood. During these crucial years of development, we nurture students’ interest and natural curiosity by providing a broad range of both academic and co-curricular experiences. Trinity faculty and staff create the conditions for joyful and engaging learning to happen across disciplines. The result is confident and curious learners who are well-prepared for middle school and beyond.
Additionally, we value the idea that different perspectives are a source of wisdom and strongly believe in cultivating empathy and respect for others and other ways of being. Our strong commitment to social equity and being of service to others are hallmarks of an Episcopal education.
We look forward to welcoming you to Trinity!
Vic has been the music director at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church since 2022. In his time, he has continued the longstanding musical tradition of prestigious music while bringing the ideals of contemporary choral music to the church’s congregants. While bringing thought-provoking and worship enriching repertoire to Sunday services, he has also collaborated with many musicians both within St. Bede’s and the surrounding community for several special services, including bringing Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols to Menlo Park as well as many Evensong Services.
Outside of St. Bede’s, Vic is the Head of Music and Director of Vocal Studies at Ohlone College where he directs the Choral Ensembles, instructs voice lessons, and teaches courses in musicology. He earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts from Northwestern University (where he acquired an intense love of both contemporary choral music and deep-dish pizza) and a Master of Arts from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, both in Choral Conducting. He is originally from Orange County, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Choral Music Education from California State University, Fullerton.
Beyond music, Vic has a deep love for Olympic style wrestling, which he both enjoys as a fan and trains and competes for regularly. The remainder of his free time goes to his lovely mini aussiedoodle – Buffy.
We engage in serving the needs of the unhoused, the food insecure, and those in need of educational assistance in the Peninsula as we proclaim the Gospel and promote justice, peace, and love for all people.
We strive to understand the workings of Jesus and enrich our lives with continuous learning. We strive to teach those around us about the good works that Jesus performed, and strive to input His teachings into our own lives.
We join with one another to support one another in all things, celebrating the high points of life, mourning together the low points, and following the example given to us by Christ during his life among us.
We gather together to set forth God's praise, to hear God's holy Word, and to pray for those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation, believing that the way of Jesus is the best possible way to live.

St. Bede’s has been home to Jane for a startlingly long time. She taught music in Trinity School and was the Music Director at St. Bede’s for many years. She was then ordained, and served as the Vicar of Holy Innocents in San Francisco. In her retirement, she has returned to St. Bede’s where her family also attends. Her delight is working with the Children’s Ministry, but she can occasionally be spotted being useful in other ways.
