Holy Trinity Private School (HTPS) was founded by a group of concerned parents who feared their children were drifting away from the beliefs and customs that define the Old Believer identity. They sought to prevent the erosion of their Russian Old Believer heritage, preserved through generations of struggle and sacrifice. Holy Trinity Private School stands as a beacon, ensuring the continuity of these cherished tradition for future generations.

High School Diplomas & Credits FAQs
Does Holy Trinity Private School (HTPS) issue high school diplomas?
Yes.
HTPS issues high school diplomas to students who successfully complete graduation requirements.
Is an HTPS diploma a homeschool diploma?
No.
HTPS diplomas are not homeschool diplomas. HTPS is an established private school with structured coursework, scheduled classes, assigned teachers, and official school transcripts.
Is HTPS an accredited school?
No.
HTPS is a private school that is not accredited. Accreditation is not required for private schools in Oregon, and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) does not mandate it.
If HTPS is not accredited, is the diploma still legitimate?
Yes.
Following guidance from the ODE Private School Ombudsman, HTPS aligns its high school
curriculum with Oregon graduation requirements, including required credits and seat hours, allowing the school to issue valid private school diplomas.
Will HTPS credits transfer to public high schools?
It depends on the receiving school district. Oregon public schools operate under local control, meaning each district determines whether and how it accepts credits from unaccredited private schools.
What happens if a public school does not automatically accept HTPS credits?
Students can request the opportunity from the receiving public school to demonstrate proficiency through placement tests, finals, or targeted coursework. Credits earned may then appear on the transcript of the receiving school.
Will colleges and universities accept an HTPS diploma?
Generally, yes. An unaccredited private school diploma is not typically a barrier to college or university admission. To date, HTPS has not experienced issues with colleges or trade schools accepting its diplomas. Colleges may use placement testing or alternative admissions processes.

Why doesn’t HTPS pursue accreditation?
After careful consideration, the HTPS School Board chose not to pursue accreditation due to significant financial and staffing requirements, prioritizing long-term sustainability and student success.

Tuition Programs
School-Wide Fundraising
Money raised will go into the general school fund. If tuition alone does not cover all operational expenses, a portion of the funds will be used to fill that gap. In the spirit of милостыня, up to 10% of the proceeds may be set aside to provide scholarships for families in need. Any remaining funds will then be applied toward reducing tuition for all students. The amount of tuition reduction will depend entirely on the success of fundraising efforts.
HTPS Scholarship Program
HTPS is committed to supporting families experiencing financial hardship. If funds are available, we will provide a link to the application and policy.
