Tamariki School

About Us

Tamariki focuses on supporting each child’s developmental pattern and passes on more than just academic learning. We provide a meaningful education and this is evidenced by the fact that some of our children are the children of past students.

Key aspects of the school are:

- Learning through play.

- Our Special Character

- The Meeting System
