Tasman Bay Christian School

TBCS was founded in 1985 as a private Christian Primary School with two teaching staff. Since then the school has expanded to include four purpose-built classrooms. While the school is now integrated into the State School System (meaning that all children are taught in accordance with national curriculum), we maintain a distinctly Christian learning environment and teach from a Biblical world-view. We represent a broadly based evangelical perspective in terms of our teaching staff and Board of Trustee members.

TBCS was launched in response to growing concerns about the world-view behind New Zealand’s education system. While we do not believe in isolating our children from the world, we do believe that a strong Christian foundation in a child’s life is God’s ideal. Ultimately each child must respond in faith in order to become a Christian, but years spent in a positive, Bible-based, loving Christian environment will assist the development of faith as well as godly character.
