Takapuna is home to a first-of-its-kind boutique green urban school – ready to revolutionise education.
Age is a school for families and students who are passionate about wellbeing for people and for the planet. Our small nurturing environment and high teacher to student ratio means we get to know each student deeply, and personalise learning so that it is meaningful for each of them.
We have been inspired by international education innovators and thought leaders who have paved the way and proven future ready education models that focus beyond the academic to an individual's purpose, wellbeing and agility to thrive in future generations and a workforce that is actively seeking a new generation of creative and compassionate leaders.
These skills are not taught in schools today. While many schools are starting to move this way, they are bogged down by their legacy, size and governance. Tradition, testing and standardisation has meant that many amazingly talented and gifted children who do not fit the mould have fallen through the cracks, unable to truly flourish into who they are, and who they could be in a system that prides itself mostly on IQ rather than a balance of IQ, EQ (emotional intelligence) and creativity.
Age can do things differently, better and smarter by being small, focused and innovative. It takes a lot of bravery and commitment from all families on this journey.
New Zealand is missing this option for our children, and AGE is committed to delivering an education experience worthy not just of our children, but of our community – and ultimately for New Zealand – as we prove its success.
Takapuna is the first of Age’s specially designed Green Star rated urban schools, with plans to extend AGE across New Zealand centres in the coming years.
If your child needs a more nurturing and personalised learning environment, please get in touch. We are accepting years 1 through to 10 now, and will extend to senior college as our students grow with us.
