What parents ask
Is Terra Firma a homeschool co-op?
No. Terra Firma is a private classical Christian school using the University Model: students learn in class with our teachers four days a week and complete guided work at home on one Satellite Day.
Will my scholarship cover tuition?
For most PEP families, the scholarship covers nearly all of the $9,000 tuition. Use the estimate above, and we'll confirm your exact amount on your tour. We're a Direct Pay Provider, so we invoice Step Up for you.
Is there a waitlist?
Not right now. We're enrolling grades 3–8, and we're reserving seats for our founding high school class opening Fall 2027.
What curriculum do you use?
Bob Jones University Press across all grades, taught through a classical approach, with Latin, logic and Spanish.
What do you believe?
Our Statement of Faith follows the Baptist Faith and Message (2000). Families of all Christian backgrounds who support our mission are welcome to visit.
Do you offer before and after care?
Yes, from 7:30 AM to 4:45 PM for $50 per week.
