Tyndale Park Christian School

One of the good schools around Auckland.

TPCS has a Biblical curriculum that teaches children the truth through the gospel. I attended here for most of my school life. Every day starts with scripture reading and prayer plus half an hour of Bible lessons for all classes and ages. Bible verses are memorised weekly. Every subject is taught with a Christian worldview, and the phonics programme is excellent - my kids were able to read books by themselves in well under a year. The high school programme was an excellent set up for university as well.

There is a fundamental power imbalance at this school. - The principal and board of trustees have no accountability and there is no transparency when it comes to complaints procedures. They are a law unto themselves.

Just a hideous experience.. ridiculed , strapped , publicly humiliated by the teachers .. later on in life I was diagnosed with adhd , the scars that this school left with me are etched into my mind forever it took years of forgiveness to shake free of the nightmares and even now at 40 something I still have flash backs

Only 2/3 teachers were loving and nice, not a good school if you are normal. If you get bullied then maybe go there. Kids in my class weren’t the nicest but the younger students were. I had a friend who accused of writing in the boys toilets and wasn’t properly apologised too and he left this school to kings college which was a great idea. Teachers didn’t want me to leave and would say that this school is better than my now school “Elim”. I’m glad I left because the education was poor and often in math class we didn’t do work but instead did cleaning which I enjoyed, but when I told my parents they were in dismay. A special needs kid abuses me and a few other kids and got a way with it, but as soon as this kid tell the principal to shut up then he gets exspelled. Anyways the kids there aren’t very nice and kinda fake and the education is poor other then that it a school.

I went to TPCS for 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say. The curriculum has a strong Christian foundation and we had extra-ciricular Bible studies daily. I enjoyed my time there and had no trouble whatsoever with university entrance afterward.

I’ve known TPCS since I was a kid. My son goes there and he begs me never to move him he has made so much friends and loves all the teachers.I love how it’s not over crowded with students my son get more one on one interactions with the teacher and it’s a massive benefit for all students. The strict protocols are great my son has learnt to prioritise study and playtime and getting the parents to be more proactive in a child’s life is a great boost for us.

I really enjoyed this school. When I first came into this school, they welcomed me and taught me how to be a good and kind person. There maybe downsides of this school, but it was a great experience! Thank you teachers and friends for giving me the support I needed! Bless you!

Tyndale Park is a school that bases its entire curriculum in the Bible. The staff are genuine Christians, very supportive of the pupils under their care. All my three children attended this school and I'm very grateful they did.
