Our Program Focus
Our partner schools provide rich learning experiences, dedicated pastoral care, and a strong sense of community—ensuring you feel supported, valued, and inspired from the moment you arrive.
Together, they provide rich, engaging learning environments that balance academic excellence with wellbeing, culture, and creativity. Learners are supported through hands-on, inquiry-based approaches that develop critical thinking, collaboration, and a love of learning. Cultural pride, environmental stewardship, and community partnership are at the heart of each school’s philosophy, creating meaningful learning that connects local identity with global understanding.

Across our partner schools, learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. Our excursions provide authentic opportunities for students to explore the Bay of Plenty’s unique environment, culture, and community — bringing learning to life through experience and connection.
Whether discovering local history through visits to marae, exploring geothermal and natural wonders, or engaging in collaborative projects with community partners, every experience helps students build confidence, teamwork, and a sense of belonging.
These shared learning journeys reflect the Foundation's commitment to culturally responsive, values-based education — fostering curiosity, creativity, and global awareness while nurturing each learner’s wellbeing and potential.
