Who we are

Who

we are

Te Ara is an educational centre with 5 staff (only 2 of whom are funded by the Ministry of Education) and approximately 20 students, focused on meeting the individual needs of secondary aged students.

Mainstream schooling tends not to suit every student's needs or cater for certain social or behavioural barriers.

Te Ara aims to provide a more focused and supportive learning environment and equip students with the confidence and skills to move forward on their path of learning.

'Our teachers show us all these different career paths.

They are trying to find something for all of us, that we

actually want to do. Something worth turning up for.'

What we do

What

we do

We help students recognise and foster individual strengths in order to set goals that adhere to their individualised learning plans. All of this is completed in accordance with the NCEA curriculum provided by Te Kura (The Correspondence School).

We've been around for over 25 years and know what we are doing. We've well established roots in the Wellington community, but we also rely on our generous sponsors to partially fund our school.
