ABOUT US

Description Seven Oaks is a small school with a family atmosphere that fully engages children in their academic learning. The curriculum also fosters holistic personal growth and actively develops a wide range of practical skills.

Philosophy Seven Oaks was co-­‐founded by Janet Nicol and Bruce McIntyre, in in 2009. They believe that every child is born brilliant, but all too often, is dimmed down by an out-­‐dated education system that develops only a small part of the brain. Seven Oaks believes that the purpose of education should be to support the holistic growth – heart, mind and body -­‐ of every child, to ignite and engage all of their natural born brilliance. We believe that true learning happens via experience rather than memorisation of facts. In a happy, safe, relaxed environment, children are able to open and learn more.

Important points

Seven Oaks is an independent school – we are not zoned or affected by school mergers and closures.

Fees are $7320 for the year, which is about half the cost of most private schools.

Owen Arnst has over 30 years of teaching experience and before Seven Oaks, was Headmaster at Cathedral Grammar for 10 years.

We now have students from Year 1 to Year 8 level. In 2014 our secondary school will open to Year 9 students.

Secondary students will graduate with NCEA qualifications.

We are planning to build and move to a new school in Halswell around 2016.

We have plans to open a p re-­‐school in the future.

Parents are welcome to ring Owen for a p ersonal appointment and students are welcome to come for trial days (ph 377 8603).
