Welcome to Tauraroa Area School

Why do International Students choose Tauraroa Area School?

Tauraroa Area School is set amongst beautiful, natural green countryside, bordered by the Tangihua Ranges, a short drive from Whangarei on the east coast of Northland. We are part of a thriving farming community and a popular area for a relaxed lifestyle. Students choose our school for its warm, friendly, and welcoming culture. We have a small number of international students so you will have an authentic ‘kiwi’ experience, mixing with local students in all of your classes.
