The curriculum runs Cambridge Primary, IGCSE, and Cambridge International AS and A Levels, with Cambridge Fellowship since 2006 and selected as New Zealand's Cambridge Demonstration Centre in 2022. The school opened in 1991 after being founded in 1990, beginning as a not-for-profit community school. A major infrastructure program in the 1990s and the theatre's opening in 2023 reflect ongoing development. The campus comprises two locations with three Primary playgrounds, purpose-built learning zones, and a 253-seat theatre used for drama, music, assemblies and presentations. Sports are central, with two gymnasiums, a TigerTurf field, a six-court turf, and access to Millennium Centre and Northern Arena Swimming Centre, supporting over 150 teams. The Arts, music, drama and dance are integrated across Primary to College, along with the Duke of Edinburgh programme and productions.
