NZ Christian Proprietors Trust
National Synergy | Local Identity
The NZ Christian Proprietors Trust (NZCPT) partners with local communities throughout New Zealand to expand the provision of quality state-integrated Christian schooling.
We are entrusted with governance responsibilities that enable schools to remain faithful to their Christian foundation while providing excellent education in partnership with families and local communities.
​
Central to our role is holding the Integration Agreement with the Crown for each of our schools. This agreement secures the right for schools to teach from a Christian perspective while being fully part of New Zealand’s state education system. In this way, NZCPT acts as a bridge—ensuring that both the requirements of the Crown and the vision of each Christian community are honoured.
​
We work in close relationship with local land trusts, who are the providers and stewards of the land and facilities. Together, we ensure that schools are resourced not only with buildings and property, but also with the spiritual and governance support they need to flourish.
​
Our vision is that through these partnerships, schools will remain strong in their Christian character, and students will be formed to love God, love His Word, and live out their faith for a lifetime.
