Welcome from our
Head of School
A warm welcome to Terra School and thank you for taking a few minutes to get to know us better.
Strong schools strategically harness the collective resources of their communities to connect students, faculty, parents, civic and business leaders, and professionals. We had the good fortune of designing this community-based STEAM school with intention because we are located in vibrant South Fulton County, where we leverage robust access to experts working at the cutting edge of their fields, state-of-the-art facilities, and longview partnerships in support of our students and faculty.
Our learners connect earnestly with our faculty, who standout as experts in their craft of early childhood and adolescent education - they know how to pique the curiosity and spirit of each learner through nuanced curricular development and irresistible instructional methodology. This dynamic combination propels a learner-centric, inquiry-based educational experience for each student. In our academically rigorous and collaborative environment, students are encouraged to take learning risks through interdisciplinary projects that consistently apply their knowledge and interpersonal skills. Our talented staff also facilitate conversations for students to develop a self-awareness around cognition and management of their own strengths and challenges as learners, crucial for success in school and beyond.
Terra’s students, families, and staff embrace our school’s culture of intellectual humility, diversity, and resilience, finding purpose in each school day. We believe that students learn best when they are known, trusted, and cared for by the adults in their lives, fostering a positive anticipation for school each day. The durable connections formed among peers and faculty here will extend well beyond their years at Terra.
With expansive access to nature just outside our doors, along with various clubs and groups that encourage our students to share their affinities, Terra provides abundant options for learners to find their place and voice. At Terra, we honor every step of the journey of growing up - the learner and the gift of seeing what unfolds each day along the way.

Yours in lifelong learning,
