How do they describe their senior school? We are a unique community, offering a mixed-race, truly Christian boarding education of the highest quality following the British curriculum.
For all our Turi students, the measure of the quality of their St Andrew’s education will lie not just in the strength of the examination results, but in the values, friendships, and attitudes that last for many more years than any understanding of the nuances of trigonometry.
Note: They even have time to play card, if you tried that in our school days, straight away, you are branded spoilt.
