About Kadimah School
Kadimah School is a state-integrated, co-educational primary school covering Years 0–8, located in Remuera, Auckland. It operates without a zoning restriction, meaning enrolment is open regardless of home address.
The school holds a special Jewish character, which shapes its values, curriculum content, and community culture. Dedicated teachers deliver Hebrew and Jewish Studies alongside the standard New Zealand curriculum, and the school incorporates prayer and Jewish tradition through its living values framework. Despite this character, the school states that it welcomes children from all backgrounds, and parent accounts reflect a mixed-faith roll.
Kadimah's stated values — grouped under the headings Learning, Identity, Middot (Torah values), Partnership, and T'fillah — draw on Jewish ethical tradition, with an emphasis on compassion, social responsibility, and community ties.
The school offers extended learning in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) within the standard curriculum, alongside music, coding and animation, robotics and engineering, and environmental studies. Each year group has a single dedicated classroom teacher. An on-site preschool accepts children aged 2.5 to 6 years and provides a transition pathway into the primary school.

Equity Index
The Ministry publishes this figure as a bare number — KuraData shows it against the directory-wide average, so you can see where Kadimah School actually sits, not just the number on its own.
The Equity Index estimates the socio-economic barriers students face, on average, and is used to inform government funding and support. It is not a measure of school quality or academic performance.
Higher values indicate a higher level of estimated socio-economic barriers; lower values indicate fewer. Learn how the Equity Index is calculated →
Student ethnicity
The Ministry publishes this as a raw table — here it's visualised directly against Kadimah School's own roll, so the shape of it is clear at a glance.
- European — 71 students (51.1%)
- Asian — 53 students (38.1%)
- Pacific — 4 students (2.9%)
- Māori — 4 students (2.9%)
- MELAA — 37 students (26.6%)
- Other — 3 students (2.2%)
Percentages may sum to more than 100% because students can identify with more than one ethnic group.
