NZCPT schools provide a Christ-centred learning environment where all aspects of school life, learning, and relationships are informed by Scripture and shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our schools are non-denominational Christian communities of learning. They were founded to work in partnership with Christian parents to fulfill their responsibility for the education of their children.
Three documents express the vision of NZCPT and guide the schools in the delivery of their Special Character: “Our Faith,” the “Theological Framework,” and the “Special Character Guidelines.”
The core beliefs, values, and commitments held in common by NZCPT and its schools are outlined in the document “Our Faith.” The “Theological Framework” expands upon these and discusses their implications for Christian Education. Finally, the core beliefs, commitments, and values of the “Theological Framework” are expressed through the seven core practices of the Special Character Guidelines. These documents are available for download below.
