Terra Ceia Christian School is an independent coeducational day school founded in 1937.
The school is an institution established to provide a college preparatory education with the Christian perspective for students in grades K-12.
An intellectual Christian environment enables students to excel in all areas associated with the classical liberal arts tradition - academics, athletics, and the arts - while simultaneously developing strong moral and ethical values.
The school's low student-teacher ratio and family-like atmosphere enhance the learning process.
The facility is located between Washington, NC and Plymouth, NC just off State Hwy 32.
