FAQS Terra, do you have any questions?

We currently have the Early Years stage (“Semillas”) open, and starting in September 2025, Terra will introduce the first Primary levels (“Brotes”). Enrolment is now open for children aged 3 to 8.

Over the coming years, we will gradually open additional educational levels. Our goal is to support children and young people from ages 3 to 17.

At Terra, our ratio is 1:10, with a maximum of ten children per facilitator. This allows for deep and meaningful connections to be formed with each child.

One of the pillars of our pedagogy is to provide personalised attention that respects the needs and rhythms of each individual. For this reason, our learning groups and spaces are carefully designed to deliver the highest quality educational experience.

We are located in Valldoreix (Barcelona). However, we are actively working to bring Conscious Education to other cities and countries.

If you are interested in bringing Terra to your area, please feel free to contact us.

Yes, Terra is accredited by the Departament d’Ensenyament of the Generalitat de Catalunya, ensuring that its programs and studies are officially recognised.

Terra will develop educational programs in Spanish and English. In the case of Catalonia, Valencia, Galicia, the Basque Country and the Balearic Islands we offer a trilingual education. We apply the Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology. Simultaneously we deal with content related to the curriculum while learning a foreign language. In this way we develop the competencies of different areas through communication.

Terra’s schedule runs from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. We offer a flexible arrival window from 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM to ensure a calm and relaxed start to the day. Similarly, there is a flexible departure window between 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM.

Organic Catering: At Terra, we place great importance on fostering conscious nutrition from early childhood. We offer a variety of menu options to choose from, including standard, gluten-free, lactose-free, paleo, vegetarian, and vegan.

Swimming: Children at Terra enjoy weekly swimming sessions as part of the school schedule.

Excursions: We organise one outing per month, fostering a sustainable connection with nature and our surroundings, starting from the early years.

Transportation: We provide a free railway service from Barcelona.

Family School: Once a month, we host gatherings with families to share and provide practical tools on topics related to education and parenting.

At Terra, we implement a unique and innovative pedagogy based on the 11 Dimensions of Conscious Education.

This approach considers all the areas in which our existence unfolds—emotional, spiritual, physical, social, communicative, artistic, scientific, entrepreneurial, creative, technological, and environmental. We believe these dimensions are essential for new generations to learn how to create a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Our pedagogy is grounded in active methodologies that combine various guidance strategies, placing children and young people at the centre of their own growth. This fosters rich learning experiences that are practical and applicable to real life.

Balancing and integrating different pedagogies and active methodologies allows us to foster richer and more meaningful learning experiences.

This approach is better suited to all students, as it takes into account the diverse ways in which each individual learns. Scientific studies show that providing various learning options encourages children to actively engage in their own educational process, enhancing their understanding of the world and themselves.

As an accredited school, we follow the official curriculum established by the Departament d’Ensenyament, ensuring that all essential content is covered. Additionally, we enrich the curriculum with the 11 Dimensions, addressing not only academic aspects but also the wide range of skills and competencies that make up each individual.

Furthermore, we track the learning process through our own evaluation system, which involves the child, their family, and the facilitators. This allows us to support their progress and development in a holistic and personalised way.

At all educational levels we organize the groups in heterogeneous age groups, favoring social cohesion, respect for diversity and participation. The dynamics in homogeneous age groups are carried out based on individual needs. Here you have the organization of the groups:

Preschool Education

1st cycle

2nd cycle

1-2 years old

3, 4 and 5 years old

Primary education

1st cycle

2nd cycle

6, 7 and 8 years

9, 10 and 11 years

Secondary education

1st cycle

2nd cycle

12 and 13 years old

14 and 15 years old

Baccalaureate

16 and 17 years old

The roles change every year, and with them the functions in the group, that is to say that in each cycle the boys and girls are the youngest, the middle and the oldest and in the following cycle they start again, being the “ex-experts” of the lower level, the “inexperienced” of the higher level and so on. This role reversal brings a level of empathy to the group and fosters a collaborative spirit. Generally, the working groups are heterogeneous in age. There are times of the day when the groups are divided by age to facilitate more systematic work (reading, writing, math…) and personalized attention. The heterogeneous groups are 3-5 years old, 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 years old. Older children are grouped by biennium (13-15, 16-18).

At Terra we all learn from each other. We use the term “learning coach” to emphasize the fact that their role is not only to transmit knowledge, but to coach children and adolescents in their development process. All of them have been (trans)formed with us and share 100% with our purpose and core values.

For Terra, “shoulds” become “wants”: spending time with the family, helping with shopping and chores at home, visiting a museum, enjoying volunteering to help others, inventing, going to the mountains, reading, smiling are some examples of what all children should do when they leave school. The fact that they continue activities that begin at school is part of a motivation and interest in the development of the school. Hence the term “wants”.
