Who are we?

A word from our Principal

Kadimah is a school where strong values, genuine care, and a deep sense of community shape every child’s experience. We are proud of our unique blend of Jewish tradition, academic excellence, and wholehearted wellbeing, creating an environment where students feel known, supported, and inspired to strive for their personal best. My philosophy is simple: when children feel secure and connected, they can achieve remarkable things. At Kadimah, we honour each child’s individuality while nurturing a shared commitment to integrity, curiosity, and kindness. It is a privilege to serve a community that partners so closely with its school to ensure Kadimah continues to be a place where every student grows with confidence and purpose.

What our parents are saying

“My middle child was very anxious and negative about starting school. She settled better than I could ever have imagined under the care of the junior teachers. She is happy, confident and learning so much.”

— R. Gluckman

“As a computer science engineer, I was eager to find a school with a strong focus on technology for my girls. Kadimah is the one! The STEAM program is stimulating, future-focused learning, and will set them up with key skills for life.”

— A. Shenkin

“There are many things to love about Kadimah: committed long-term teaching staff, smaller classes, an emphasis on academic support and leadership, celebration of success, an ethnic makeup that reflects the diversity of Aotearoa. What really moved us as a non-Jewish family were the Jewish values instilled in the children, and the powerful sense of community that runs through every school activity.”
