Are you looking for a Christian School for
your child?
Maranatha Christian School may be just
right for you.
Our school’s mission is:
“To provide a sound education within a Christ-centred
environment which will prepare young people to live and function
to God’s glory in society.”
Maranatha Christian School was founded in 1967 by members of
Hope Centre and Discovery Christian Centre. We cater for up to
160 children from Years 1 to 8, drawn from over 50 churches
throughout the region.
With a strong emphasis on academic achievement, we focus on
developing Christian character and encouraging children in their
God-given talents and abilities. We encourage students to be the
best they can be, working and playing together co-operatively.
Maranatha is a place where we celebrate diversity of talents,
interests and backgrounds. As an integrated Christian school, we
use the Christian Interact Curriculum, which is based on
National Curriculum guidelines.
The school property and buildings are owned and maintained by
the proprietors, the Maranatha Foundation Board. Like other
schools throughout New Zealand, Maranatha is managed by a Board
of Trustees, consisting of parent-elected members, as well as
members appointed by the Foundation Board. The school also has
an active Parent Teacher Association, which is involved in
organising fundraising activities and school social events. The
school operates on a combination of Ministry of Education
funding and school fees, providing affordable, quality Christian
education.
Maranatha has a proven record of success and is an excellent
choice for your child.
What We Offer: High academic standards: we provide a stimulating learning
environment for your child with modern and well equipped
