Buena Terra is such an amazing school!!! My son has been attending since he was in Kindergarten (now 4th grade). BT has always gone above and beyond, not only for its students, teachers and staff on campus, but also for the community. Everything from the academic curriculum to social events and fund...

Our family has had a wonderful 7 years at Buena Terra. From the teachers to the principal to the students to the parents, everyone works together. The result is a school that provides a great education, access to technology, fun family events, and a supportive community.
