The focus of the curriculum is to ensure students experience a rich, personalised and authentic learning journey within individual, small group and large group contexts. Critical and applied deep thinking skills are emphasised with the aim to develop self-regulated learners.

The school teaches the NZ Curriculum through a biblical lens, emphasising our special character.

 

JUNIOR SCHOOL

---

We have richly developed programmes, especially around sciences and arts, and utilise the Interact Curriculum (for Years 1-6) which approaches the New Zealand curriculum within a Biblical framework. Technology is a tool that has an integral role in shaping the learning environment, and our students are exposed to a variety of cutting-edge technologies.

Richmond View School draws from the Interact Curriculum for Years 1-8 as a means of drawing together The Bible, The New Zealand Curriculum and higher order thinking skills. If you would like to know more about Interact Curriculum, please visit their website here.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

---

Years 7-10 students study the essential learning areas of English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and PE/Health. In Years 7-9 students also take Technology and Arts subjects.
As they journey through Middle School, students begin to specialise their programme of study, commencing with four subject options in Year 9 and 10 in addition to their core programme.
This broad-based curriculum enables students to make informed choices when moving into Senior School where their programme becomes more specialised according to future aspirations.
