The best opportunity to learn by doing
The best opportunity to learn by doing! Thanks to the experiences provided by the school, such as the IB program, competitions, and concerts. I was able to explore my interpretative and compositional skills, advance my guitar playing, and discover my artistic identity.

Colegio Terranova was not just my school it was the place where I began to discover who I am and what I want to contribute to the world.
Every experience, every teacher, and every opportunity shaped my path in a unique way. Representing the school in international settings, traveling, learning about new cultures, and connecting with incredible people taught me the value of curiosity, respect, and teamwork. Today, I look back with deep gratitude, knowing that much of who I am the way I think, lead, and dream was born there.
