School Overview

Tucked deep in the Chihuahuan Desert near Big Bend National Park, this tiny school serves one of the most remote communities in all of Texas, where the nearest major city is hours away and the landscape is as rugged as it is breathtaking. Families who choose life out here tend to be fiercely independent and deeply connected to the land, and the school reflects that tight-knit, everyone-knows-everyone spirit that only comes with a truly small community. Academics are a work in progress, but for families drawn to wide-open spaces, starry skies, and a slower pace of life far from the suburban grind, Terlingua is unlike anywhere else in the state.
