We are a multidisciplinary team of educators, psychologists, architects, scientists and managers who are passionate about transforming education. We have created our own methodology that allows children and teenagers to be the true protagonists of their educational process. Our commitment is that by the end of their school years they will be prepared to face the challenges of life, while complying with the curriculum established by the current legal framework. We are working to open our first school in September 2024 in Barcelona. And from there - with the help of sponsors, investors and local partners - we want to create an international and interconnected network of Terra schools.
"Terra" in Latin means "earth". We conceive children as "seeds", each one unique and singular. We call our teachers "learning coaches". And they act as "gardeners", providing the best possible conditions for their full development. Our commitment is that at the end of their school years, they will extract and manifest the "fruit" they brought with them at birth.
Offering a quality alternative to the current educational system is no easy task. We have been researching and learning from the most innovative pedagogues and schools around the world since 2016. Over the years we have been developing and shaping our own methodology, so that – when we finally open our doors – the children and teenagers who come to Terra will have a truly enriching and transformative educational experience We intend to open the different educational levels gradually over the next few years.
At Terra we conceive education as the organic process that enables the natural development of each person's innate intelligence, happiness and creativity. With the intention of unleashing the potential that resides in every human seed, our methodology is composed of eleven dimensions, which take into account all the areas in which our existence develops and which we consider fundamental for the new generations to learn how to create a full and meaningful life.

Terra's architecture is versatile, disruptive and innovative. It has different environments equipped with a variety of materials that encourage active and meaningful learning that stimulates creativity and collaboration.
At Terra we use the 11 dimensions of conscious education, an integral and meaningful methodology that enables children and young people to learn to be self-reliant in the different areas and dimensions of their lives.
All members of Terra's pedagogical team have gone through their own process of self-knowledge and personal transformation, which is crucial to accompany children and teenagers in a loving and respectful way.
Terra's main objective is that children and teenagers learn to be happy on their own, discover their true purpose and know how to face life's challenges with responsibility, maturity and wisdom.
Terra employs holacracy, a horizontal, democratic, decentralised and participatory management system in which everyone in the school can influence decision-making to improve what we do.
The groups and learning spaces are designed to provide personalised attention and quality education. There is a maximum of 15 children per chaperone, being able to establish deep bonds with each one of them.
We offer a trilingual accompaniment so that the children communicate daily in English and Spanish with people who speak each language. In the case of Catalonia, they will also speak daily in Catalan.
Since 2016, we have been developing, within the current regulations, an innovative pedagogical methodology that enables the new generations to have the attitude and the necessary tools to face the new challenges of the 21st century.
The professionals who are part of Terra have three things in common: we believe deeply in conscious education, we are people of integrity and we have experience in our respective fields of expertise.
In Terra we question the old way of conditioning the new generations,
opening ourselves to a much more loving and respectful way of looking at them and accompanying them.

I never saw the point of the industrial education system. From a very young age I became the clown, the hooligan and the rebel of the class. I was deeply bored and found it very difficult to remain still and silent. At another time I would probably have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Today, I feel totally motivated and committed to complete the great gambit: to revolutionise the education system, creating together with an extraordinary team the school I would have loved to go to.
