About Te Wananga O Aotearoa

Westminster Christian School is a state-integrated, co-educational, inter-denominational Christian school in Albany, on Auckland's North Shore. It was founded to provide education for children of Christian families and operates from New Entrant to Year 8.

The school's special character is defined by a Christ-centred curriculum grounded in a Biblical World View. This shapes its stated educational purpose: to educate children of Christian parents through the New Zealand curriculum while developing what the school describes as a sense of Christian citizenship, stewardship, and purpose. Class sizes do not usually exceed 25 students.

The school is situated on a 2½-hectare site in Albany, accessible from West Auckland via Upper Harbour Highway (SH18) and Albany Highway, and from the North Shore and East Coast Bays via the Constellation Drive motorway exit.
