Story

Kristin is an independent co-educational school of approximately 1600 students and is located in Albany, Auckland. Catering to students from Kindergarten to Year 13, Kristin School was founded in 1973 by a small group of North Shore parents and is owned by the Kristin School Charitable Trust. The school is non-denominational and welcomes students from all cultures and backgrounds.

Kristin is structured as three schools within one whole school. The Junior, Middle and Senior Schools are all located on the same campus. Each school follows the philosophy of Kristin while creating their own distinctive character relative to the age group of the students. The differences between how each school functions have a positive impact on the students. As a child moves through the schools they encounter different ways of working, allowing them to consider the world, themselves and their peers in a variety of ways. This encourages the students to be inquisitive, show initiative and cope well with change.

Providing a dual qualification pathway, Kristin School was the first school in New Zealand to introduce the International Baccalaureate Diploma and has continued to show innovation by introducing the IB Primary and Middle Years Programmes in the Junior and Middle schools. The national curriculum is delivered alongside the International Baccalaureate programmes at all levels until students in the Senior School can elect to complete either the IB Diploma or NCEA standards in Year 12 and 13. Kristin's proud record of success as a leading IB school has allowed students to gain entry to some of the world's most prestigious universities. Kristin is committed to developing an international perspective and a sense of global awareness.
