A classical education, well taught.
Bob Jones University Press curriculum across every grade, taught through the classical stages of grammar, logic and rhetoric, with Latin, Spanish and a Christian worldview.
Three stages of learning, one classical path.
Classical education follows how children grow: first they gather knowledge, then they learn to reason, then they learn to speak and write with wisdom. At Terra Firma each stage has its own cohort.

Proven curriculum
Terra Firma uses Bob Jones University Press materials in every grade: a structured, Christ-centered program used by Christian schools for decades. Our teachers bring it to life through the classical method: memory work and chant in the early years, argument and discussion as students mature.
Admissions include a family interview with the Head of School and, if needed, a short placement in math and language arts.
