About Us
Our History
Api'i Te Uki Ou began with a dream — a group of parents who wanted a quality education for their children, grounded in care, culture and community.
In 1993, that dream became a reality when Api'i Te Uki Ou opened its doors as a preschool in Betela. Over the years, our school grew and moved through several communities before finding its home in Ngatangiia in 2002.
More than 30 years later, the essence of that original vision remains at the heart of Api'i Te Uki Ou.
