Mission
Out of the Classroom, Into the World.
The vision of Terra Nova (formerly JGESA) is to provide a personalized project-based learning experience where student passions, interests and environmental education drive learning toward becoming flexible problem solvers, effective leaders and responsible citizens.
History
School officially opened in 2015. Formerly, Jane Goodall Environmental Sciences Academy, the transition to Terra Nova continues to reflect our desire to direct students out into the world as they grow and mature into young adults, look outside themselves into the greater community, and it still retains our emphasis on environmental education. Leave the land better than you found it. Make the land new again.
