This is our second year at Terra Centre - overall we are very, very happy. The teachers really care and want to be there. The principal is visible but doesn't necessarily make time for one on one interaction with students. The school also needs to revisit how it handles students that are not necessarily bullying but just not being decent to each other. The ladies in the front office could certainly be warmer and more welcoming to parents. The building is beautiful and makes you want to be there. The PTA is strong and creates excellent programming. The bottom line is that the teachers are what really counts and Terra Centre has some of the best in Fairfax County. All of the other challenges are normal (or small) and could be overcome if the administration asked for more parent feedback.
It is our first year at Terra Center and we can say it feels good in all aspects. Teachers are good at what they have to do and loving to their students.The principal is friendly; a very nice person. The whole community feels like a big family. PTA organices the best events.In a nutshell, we love TC!
Our experience was limited to one year. We chose our home based on the rave reviews for Terra Centre (which were 9/10) and I don't think it lives up to the reviews. According to two moms, there are a couple of very bad kindergarten teachers who prefer girls and who punish the 5-year olds by revoking recess.
Wonderful school. Dedicated teachers and amazing principal who promotes kindness.
