Why Terra Schools
Research shows that early language immersion, nature-based education, and integrated social emotional learning are the best ways to help children grow into their full potential. Dig deeper into the research here
Early language immersion works
Research shows that learning a second or third language before ages 6-7 results in higher likelihood of native proficiency in a second language by adulthood, compared to starting at ages 7-12. And it takes 2-7 years to become fully fluent in a second language, through a language immersion program regardless of a child’s prior language exposure.
Nature-based education helps students reach full potential
Studies have proven that it helps children have lower stress, better cognitive functioning, and improved social skills.
Social emotional learning is foundation for success
Science has proven that having a social emotional learning curriculum starting from a young age leads to improved emotional intelligence, increased positive attitudes toward self & others, and greater success later in life.
"I came to Terra Schools to escape the big middle school scene where I was struggling. The community and teachers here are awesome. Making friends was a breeze, and the teachers are easy to talk to. My year and a half here has been great!"
