Overview
At Terra Schools, we offer nature-based, multilingual education in Spanish and Mandarin, combining the Reggio Emilia philosophy and the International Baccalaureate framework to prepare students who are academically prepared, emotionally intelligent, and globally aware.
We welcome children from preschool through 3rd grade, fostering a love of learning from the earliest years.
Brightworks reimagines school as a joyful, inclusive, and antiracist learning community where students expand their curiosity and co-author their education through meaningful engagement. We use real tools, real materials, and real problems to encourage students' love of learning, curiosity about the world, ability to engage, tenacity to think big, and persistence to do amazing things.
