I was a member of Tierra Linda's Class of 2022. Overall, my three years are at Tierra Linda were pretty good. I liked the school, the academics were good, and I had pretty good teachers. However, the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted my middle school education, (1 and a half years online) but I have to say that the school did a great job of adjusting to the online format. The time I did spend on campus was much better.

We appreciate the weekly newsletters with photos, event announcements, and musings, just like our old private school used to do! The band teacher is truly a gem...
