Located in the centre of Palmerston North, Carncot prepares primary and intermediate aged children for a lifetime of success. Our small class sizes and specialist subject teachers create a holistic environment where your child can discover their strengths, their place in the world, and most importantly, how they can leave their mark on it for the benefit of others. And with the opportunity to grow and be nurtured by dedicated staff, they can go forth with the confidence to take control of opportunity.
Having specialist staff for every subject means we’re able to provide learning environments no other school can. In the early years of schooling, class sizes are kept small, allowing teachers the time to show individual attention to each child and extend their learning. The way our classes are setup also means that children become familiar with learning in the ways they will at high-school and university. The results speak for themselves.
