About Amana Christian School

Amana Christian School is a parochial school on Gordon Road in Mosgiel, Dunedin. Many Christian schools in New Zealand are state-integrated, meaning they teach the same national curriculum as any other school but add a special character built around their faith, funded partly by government and partly by attendance dues that families are asked to pay to support that special character. It's worth reading a school's specific character document rather than assuming what "Christian school" means day to day, since the amount of religious content, chapel time or scripture teaching varies a lot between schools carrying the label. As with any school, sitting in on a normal day rather than relying on a prospectus tends to give a much clearer picture of how the character actually shows up in the classroom. On Gordon Road in Mosgiel, this school is one of the local options for that kind of faith-based education.
