Why Terra Nova?

Small Class Sizes

Your children will be known by their teachers, individually assisted while growing with the whole, in an intimate yet abundantly fruitful culture.

Godly Teachers

Our teachers are Christian. They are members in good standing at biblically faithful and robust churches. Their character has been tested and proven true. We hold to a rigorous standard for our teachers, as they are the backbone of maintaining the godly culture.

Convenient Location

La Mesa is centrally located in San Diego County. Furthermore, we are located immediately off the interstate 8, and approximately one minute from where the 125 and 8 freeways meet if coming from the 125.

Christ-Centered Community

In eternity past, the triune God ordained for the Son to take on flesh, live perfectly and sinlessly in the place of his people, die an atoning death on the cross for his people, be buried, rise again on the third day, and forever be both Lord and Savior of the world. Colossians 1:19-20 “For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Everything we do is because of what Jesus Christ has done for us, and everything we aim to accomplish is to bring him glory now and forever.

Not Bending To The Surrounding Culture

We do not bow to any other gods, governments, or cultures. We bow to Jesus Christ in all that we do. The students of Terra Nova will daily have their hearts and minds prepared to dwell in the perfectly righteous culture of the King’s heavenly home. Our students will be prepared to fight with courage, wisdom and humility the culture wars of their time.
