Sibling Policy
Siblings of current students who are enrolled at the same time will be admitted IF they meet our criteria. Sibling applicants MUST meet eligibility criteria for sibling preference. Additionally, current TERRA student address must match the address provided on the sibling applicant’s Schools of Choice application.
We DO NOT admit students as 10th, 11th, or 12th graders. TERRA only admits students as incoming freshmen.
