<p>New Zealand&#039;s heart beats in our classrooms. Like our founder Frances Valintine&#039;s conversation with fellow change-makers shows, our unique values shape not just who we are, but how we teach. We embrace manaakitanga (genuine care), connect deeply with our land and people, and bring innovation that&#039;s distinctly Kiwi to education. It&#039;s not just where we teach - it&#039;s how we unlock potential in our uniquely New Zealand way.</p>
