NATURE OF OUR SCHOOL

At Tahakopa School the children climb trees, play with sticks, in the dirt and sandpit, and explore their school environment at break times and at other times too. We let children be children.

“Play is the highest form of research.” Albert Einstein

What our vision means to us:

Learning at Tahakopa School is individualized to the student and their particular needs. Our small size is our strength as each student is given the opportunity to participate fully in their learning and take ownership of it. Each student is encouraged to grow their potential and reach new heights in their learning. While we are part of a small rural community, our vision is for our students to embrace the future and become leaders in their chosen fields.
