Per Aspera Ad Astra: A Night of Discovery

Reaching for the Stars

Trinity Valley School has long been a cornerstone of educational excellence in Fort Worth—an institution where curiosity is celebrated, leadership is nurtured, and integrity is a way of life. Guided by our mission to cultivate fine scholarship, wide constructive interests, intelligent citizenship, and spiritual and moral development, we prepare our students not only for college, but for life.

Our motto, Per aspera ad astra—“through difficulty to the stars”—has never been more meaningful. As we continue our journey under the leadership of Head of School Ben Courchesne, we reflect on a remarkable first year of growth, renewal, and shared purpose. Together, we have deepened our commitment to fostering a community rooted in excellence, empathy, and exploration. Looking ahead, our goals are clear: to strengthen connections across our school, to empower our faculty and students through transformative learning, and to continue shaping a future that shines ever brighter.

An Evening for the TVS Community

We are thrilled to invite you to Per aspera ad astra: A Night of Discovery—a special evening designed to bring together the entire Trinity Valley School community. This event, to be held on March 27, 2026, in Sundance Square, will celebrate everything that makes TVS extraordinary: our people, our purpose, and our shared vision for the future.

More than a celebration, this evening is an opportunity to reconnect, rediscover, and reaffirm the mission that unites us. Parents, alumni, faculty, and friends—every member of the Trojan family—will come together to reflect on our collective journey and look forward to the path ahead.

Honoring Our Past. Investing in Our Future.

For more than 65 years, Trinity Valley School has inspired generations to reach beyond what is easy toward what is meaningful. This event will serve as a powerful reminder of why our community has entrusted TVS with the education of its children—generation after generation.

Proceeds from A Night of Discovery will directly support faculty-led initiatives that strengthen the perspective, leadership, and resilience of our students, including beloved programs like Trojan Outdoor Experience and Global Education. These experiences embody our mission in action—connecting learning to life and guiding our students ever upward, toward the stars!
