Our TYMS Teachers work across five different residences around Auckland, New Zealand.
TYMS provides a unique and individualised education and pastoral care programme to young people placed in supervised residential homes across Auckland.
TYMS partners with Oranga Tamariki – Ministry for Children to ensure some of our most vulnerable young people in NZ are given the opportunity to improve their academic engagement through building positive connections with academic material and others (social integration).
The tailored programme covers life skills topics such as career planning, CV building, driver’s license study, cultural identity, creative arts, physical well-being, goal setting, entrepreneurship along with basic skills in numeracy, literacy, social studies and astronomy.
