Education Institutions in Kelston, Auckland

Previously Van Asch, Ko Taku Reo are New Zealand's provider of education services for Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. We have a large team of over 300 specialist staff across New Zealand with specialist school provisions in Auckland and Christchurch. For all children, their school years are an important time of discovery and development. We're here to ensure having a different hearing level is not a barrier to this. Under the Education Act 1989, all children have the right to enrol at school and take part in the New Zealand curriculum regardless of their needs. We make that possible, whether it be at their local school or our specialist schools in Auckland and Christchurch.
