Academic Excellence
Starts Here
Terra Firma Classical Academy is a private school dedicated to the development of virtue and leadership in our students.
We emphasize traditional values and make it our mission to pass down and cultivate the wisdom and knowledge found in the rich cultural heritage of the Western Tradition.
What sets Terra Firma apart from other private schools?
By implementing a Socratic teaching method students are encouraged to foster curiosity and independence through self-directed, academic exploration and project based learning.
Students receive rigorous instruction in the core subjects and exposure to the Great Works of Western Civilization.
During the learning process our highly trained educators continually guide students with the aim of cultivating virtue and discipline to help them achieve both personal and academic success.
“Terra Firma” is Latin for solid ground. We believe modern society has become disoriented, unprincipled, and untethered from the values and ideals that once set us free.
Unlike public schools, Terra Firma Classical Academy can provide a solid foundation upon which virtuous leaders are developed – extraordinary young men and women who can stride forth confidently into a chaotic world and reshape it.
The Seven Student Virtues:
Truth
Love
Gratitude
Humility
Discipline
Responsibility
Sacrifice
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.”
- Matthew 7:24-25
