TERI Campus of Life: 34th Anniversary

We are wishing TERI a happy 34th anniversary, and would like to give you an update regarding this project that is close to our hearts.

TERI ā€“ Training, Education and Research Institute - in San Marcos, California, is dedicated to changing the way the world views and helps children and adults with special needs. We serve as Master Architects for the TERI Campus of Life project. TERI's 6th annual Cuvee delle Vite event recently raised over $240,000 toward the completion of the cutting edge facility, which will include residential homes, two schools, an adult education & vocational center, a therapeutic equestrian program, music & movement therapy, culinary arts, and much more.

A part of TERI Agriculture, The Peas nā€™ Carrots 4-H club established in 2006 is the first club in the United States specifically designed for children with developmental disabilities and their siblings. In addition, TERI's Agriculture Department has just received their Organic Certification. It has been 5 years in the making, but what started as a backyard garden has grown into 3 large urban farms, 10 backyard gardens, a livestock program, and the first 4-H club for children with developmental disabilities. All now certified organic!
