What does Project-Based Learning actually look like? The short answer...anything! When you give students the autonomy to choose how they showcase their knowledge, it is amazing what will happen. From 3D models and dioramas to speeches, art, and digital presentations—the possibilities (and the breakthrough moments) are endless!
Happy Independence Day! Celebrating Freedom & Our Future! May we always strive for unity, equality, and justice.
Collaboration is a key life skill that students practice daily! Whether they are tackling a tough seminar, brainstorming a group project, or simply sharing ideas at the lunch table, our students are constantly learning how to communicate, compromise, and succeed together.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Terra Nova School!
Today, we are celebrating all the incredible people in our school community who step up to tell the best (and worst) jokes, give the greatest advice, and help our students grow.
Families come in all shapes and sizes, and so do role models. Whether you are a dad, a stepdad, a grandpa, an uncle, an older brother, a mentor, a family friend, or a mom doing double duty—thank you! We appreciate all the "outstanding" father figures who show up for our students every single day.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday filled with love, laughter, and maybe a well-deserved nap! 💙🏫✨

Pioneer Play! [Part 2 of 2]
Our students “pioneered” their very own play production from start to finish! Through project-based learning these students explored the life of the American Pioneers. Behind these production skills are critical thinking and collaboration. Our students didn't just learn about the pioneers; they lived the grit it takes to build something from nothing!
