Intermediate & Secondary School Opening 2026
To empower curious young minds to find their purpose, and to better the world
through scientific and technological endeavours.

The Academy is a high-performing intermediate and secondary school focused on
STEM, in the heart of West Auckland, created by leaders in education and the
technology industry.

The Academy is scheduled to open its doors in 2026 to our first cohort of Year 7
to Year 9 students.

With an internationally recognised and knowledge-rich curriculum, and
industry-focused projects, our students benefit from small class sizes and
individual learning programmes supported by master teachers.







MIDDLE SCHOOL (YEARS 7 - 10)
A CURRICULUM BASED ON EVIDENCE


The Academy offers a highly engaging evidence-based middle school programme
inspired by internationally recognised and proven curricula such as the
International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Cambridge
International Lower Secondary programme.


By focusing on four core learning areas, our students can deeply engage in
substantial and meaningful learning experiences. Our courses are content-rich
and packed with collaborative and active learning activities.


Our courses are informed by educational research such as the Best Evidence
Science Teaching project developed by the University of York Science Education
Group, the Salters' Institute and the Institute of Physics


Through our technology curriculum, students will gain fluency in a wide range of
industry programming languages (Python, C++, JavaScript) and they will have
built a personal website and software repository to publish work from all
subjects.

The middle school curriculum, Years 7 - 10, focuses on the following subject
areas:

 * Science (Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy and Geology)
 * Technology (Programming, Web Development and Electronics)
 * English Language and Literature
 * Mathematics

All subjects are taught by expert teachers, each specialising in their
respective disciplines.


With small class sizes and weekly, self directed tutorials in each subject, we
are able to tailor the experience for each student, providing challenges and
experiences beyond the curriculum.


The goal of The Academy's middle school curriculum is to help students identify
their strengths and build a strong foundation of good learning habits.






Computer programming will be embedded throughout each course and be a core skill
to support learning.




SENIOR SCHOOL (YEARS 11 - 13)
CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION


The goal of The Academy's senior school programme is for students to identify
and work towards achieving their purpose.

The Academy's senior school is a 3-year programme following the Cambridge
Advanced curriculum. Students will generally select 4 or 5 subjects to focus on
to achieve the requirement for their A-Levels and university entrance.

The University of Cambridge has over 160 years' experience in delivering fair,
valid and reliable assessments to students worldwide, working with over 10,000
schools in 160 countries.

Cambridge International Education is the gold standard international benchmark
for external assessment and ensures our students are internationally competitive
and can meet the requirements for university entrance to the world's top-ranked
universities.

The senior school subjects are:

 * Mathematics
 * English Literature
 * Physics
 * Biology
 * Chemistry

Programming is still taught in the senior school to support the learning and
entrenchment of important skills.

All students are expected to take on at least one subject at NZQA Scholarship
level and compete in a national academic competition:
(Science Olympiads, Sargeson Prize, NZ Writers College Short Story Competition,
Future Problem Solving, Engineering Science Competition, Tournament of Minds).





As well as an internationally recognised secondary school qualification,
students completing the senior school programme will have built an extensive
portfolio of quality work (research articles, software, websites, web
applications and hardware), complete with documentation which can be easily
published and shared. Our students stand out and have a significant edge in
competitive entry programmes such as medicine and engineering, and also for
entry into prestigious overseas institutions where extra initiative in exploring
subject areas and experiences is expected.


The ultimate advantage that students at The Academy will have, is their depth of
knowledge in core subject areas.

EXTENSION - APPLICATION - ENGAGEMENT


Fridays at The Academy are dedicated to extended experiences where we embrace
time for curiosity, extended projects, and building a strong community and
culture of learning. This flexible time on Fridays allows us to incorporate
extracurricular activities, providing opportunities to expand learning beyond
the confines of the classroom.


These experiences extend students' learning and provide them with the
opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world contexts. Students will have
opportunities to work on larger-scale projects that are simply not possible
within regular class periods.


Students will use this time to carry out fieldwork, build software applications,
gain industry experience, complete engineering projects, visit universities and
so much more.


The extended experience time on Fridays allows us to have a broad curriculum
where other subjects, life-skills and ideas are also explored such as welding,
first-aid, accounting, machining, woodworking, sewing, health and well-being,
business administration, history and philosophy, computer network
infrastructure, outdoor education, cooking, IT security, automotive engineering
etc …



In the senior school, the time on Fridays will be more focussed to support the
student’s future goals.




SMALL CLASS SIZES; INDIVIDUAL LEARNING PROGRAMMES



At The Academy, our small class sizes maximise time with experts who are masters
of their profession and subject area. Our goal is to build a strong learning
culture amongst students, with high expectations and solid routines. Students
will have regular individual dialogues with each teacher to assess their
progress. Areas to address are identified through this process, which allows for
quick feedback and an action plan to be put in place.





Moving on to the next level is not the goal, mastery of the material is.


Weekly tasks, assigned in the tutorials for each subject, culminate in the
regular dialogues - which may sometimes involve a presentation to the student's
peer group. Gaining confidence and skill in communication (both written and
verbal) is prioritised at all levels and is supported by a strong English
curriculum. All students will have slightly different needs and we address them
through the weekly task and dialogue process. If a student is ready to tackle
more advanced material, they will be guided appropriately, without being
constrained by age or year level.



Our goal is to build a strong learning culture amongst students, with high
expectations and solid routines.




The Academy will open its doors to Year 7 to Year 9 students beginning 2026 and
provide a high-performing academic school in the heart of West Auckland.
