TO THE PARENT THEY PROMISE: We are a small, vibrant flexible boarding school for children aged 2 - 13, following a British curriculum. We focus on nurturing every child to fulfill their individual goals and aspirations. Every child matters and every moment counts.

My thoughts: This is one great school, in fact home away from home, with a great environment, facilities, and pastoral care for your child. They even send instrumentalists to the Orchestral Weekend at Turi. This is a school that develops your kid not to be dependent on employment but to become self-reliant.
