Fueled by the passion for bringing quality education closer to the youth, the late Pedro Trinidad was a driven educator that brought his innovative ideas to establish La Trinidad Academy and manage the institution throughout his waking life, that made it one of the renowned private schools in Imus City.

However, unbeknownst to many, he started in a simple and humble environment, only equipped with his guiding principle to make quality education accessible to more people. Before establishing LTA in 1996, he served the academe for almost forty years. He rose from the ranks as a classroom teacher to a Regional Director of the Department of Education (DepEd) for four regions in the country.

Being the inspiring educator he was, his friends and colleagues from DepEd, who believed in his skills as an educator and administrator, drove him to concretize his vision and further establish LTA. Alongside his wife, Asuncion Trinidad, they poured their heart and soul into the institution. Leaning upon their experiences as educators, managers, and leaders, they nurtured their newest endeavor. They had a direct hand in the everyday decisions of LTA – recruitment, training, supervision, and problem-solving.

The founder had an aversion to idleness and had developed a strong work ethic over the years. He was uncompromising when it came to the quality of the institution. He refused to slow down to enjoy his retirement. His love for work and decades of experience have always pushed him to go further. On June 26, 2015, Pedro Trinidad left the world and the school he founded, but his legacy of education continues to this day.
