A Brief Introduction . . .
Tasman Bay Christian School is situated in a beautiful rural location 11 km on the Nelson side of Motueka. We have modern facilities and plenty of room for children to learn and play both inside and outside. We currently have three classrooms (complete with teachers!), as well as Teacher Aides, a Secretary, and other support people.
We integrate Christian beliefs, values and standards into every aspect of our school life. We use the New Zealand Curriculum to deliver a high quality education from a Biblical perspective and undertake not to compromise our Christian beliefs in the process. We strive to help students integrate the Christian faith with their wider education so they can go into the world as good ambassadors of Christ.
We provide free bus transport from the Motueka, Moutere, and Mapua areas, so your children get safely to and from school each day. In addition to the school facilities, we also have access to a large church facility next door to the school for larger “whole school” indoor activities.

Why Christian Education?
The Bible does not contain all knowledge or all truth, but it does form the foundation from which all knowledge and truth springs. When we exclude God from the classroom, we effectively admit that God can be safely ignored when it comes to learning about ourselves—what it means to be human and to live well in our world. Children need a challenging, comprehensive academic curriculum built on a foundation of Biblical absolutes in order to learn as God intends us to. They also need to be able to look to those who teach them as Biblical and godly examples of what it means be a Christian and live in a way that pleases God.

What if I'm not a Christian and don't belong to local church?
Not a problem! If you want your child to have a solid, values-based education we would still welcome you at our school. Spaces are limited by the Ministry of Education, but we would love to hear from you!
Invest in Christian Education
If you are interested in investing in Christian Education, we have set up a Student Scholarship Endowment Fund to help remove any financial barriers that may prevent low income families attending the school. Download more Student Scholarship Fund information here.
