A small Enviroschool in Carterton, in the Wairarapa, that teaches Years 1 to 8 in both Montessori and mainstream classrooms. The school describes itself as small and thriving, and its motto translates as "I am the whānau and the whānau is me". Mātauranga Māori is part of the learning. Students are encouraged to follow their own interests within a supportive and diverse community, with aroha, creativity and initiative as the aim.

Children eat lunch between 12:20 and 12:40 pm, either in class or under the trees. Term 4 runs from 12 October to 15 December. The school is at 275 High Street South, Carterton.
