Welcome to Maketu Kohanga Reo, a prestigious establishment nestled in the heart of Te Puke, New Zealand. Situated on Maketu Road, our institution stands as a beacon of educational excellence, catering to the diverse needs of our community.

Maketu Kohanga Reo is more than just a school; it is a point of interest and a cornerstone of cultural preservation. We are proud to be a Kohanga Reo, a unique type of educational institution that focuses on preserving and revitalizing the Māori language and culture. Our commitment to this mission sets us apart from traditional schools, as we provide a nurturing environment where children can immerse themselves in the rich traditions of Aotearoa.

At Maketu Kohanga Reo, we understand that education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Our dedicated team of experienced teachers embraces a holistic approach, tailoring the curriculum to meet the individual needs and interests of each child. We believe in fostering a love for learning, encouraging curiosity, and nurturing the unique talents of every student.

Our state-of-the-art facilities create an ideal learning environment, blending modern amenities with a touch of cultural heritage. Students have access to well-equipped classrooms, interactive technology, and a range of resources that support their educational journey. The surrounding natural beauty of Te Puke also provides an inspiring backdrop, allowing students to connect with nature and appreciate the wonders of the world around them.

Beyond the classroom, Maketu Kohanga Reo offers a range of extracurricular activities, allowing students to explore their passions and develop a well-rounded skill set. From traditional Māori arts and crafts to sports and music, we provide a diverse range of opportunities for students to discover their interests and unleash their potential.

Parents and whānau (family) play a vital role in our educational community, and we believe in fostering strong partnerships between home and school. We encourage open communication, regular parent-teacher meetings, and involvement in various school events. Together, we can create an inclusive and supportive environment that nurtures the growth and success of our students.

Whether you are seeking a culturally immersive education for your child or simply interested in experiencing the rich heritage of Māori culture, Maketu Kohanga Reo is the perfect destination. Join us on this educational journey, where tradition meets innovation, and where every child is valued, empowered, and inspired to reach their full potential.
