About ZaneIvy School

The Zaneivy School has a reputation for strong academic outcomes, and a disciplined and warm environment. Our devoted staff strives to make a difference in the life of their students. At Zaneivy School we provide a safe and happy environment for your child to learn within a supportive community. We are a co-educational school offering schooling for students for their most foundational years. Our enthusiastic, highly professional teaching team focuses on nurturing the strengths of our students. Our teachers work together with parents to bring continuity between school and home, and are committed to keeping you informed and listening to your concerns.

Zaneivy School staff recognise the individuality of a child’s learning needs and offer a program designed to maximise their potential in all areas of learning. The foundation of our approach to educating your child is our secure and nurturing school environment. We create this environment through appreciation for individual needs, respect for the children in our care, and support for their values and opinions.

Through this approach, we will help your child to reach their full potential whilst developing self-esteem and an appreciation for the needs of others. Our talented and committed teachers nurture and develop each student to help them grow into intelligent, confident and well-rounded adults who are prepared for the challenges of life.  Zaneivy School offers a comprehensive, balanced, and engaging curriculum with a global worldview. We are committed to nurturing a spirit of excellence, joy in learning, and resilience in relationships.

We Care About Developing the Whole Child
The needs of the whole child include academic, social, emotional and physical needs. At Zaneivy School many kinds of play become the medium through which development of the whole child takes place. Play enables the children to feel control and competence in their world with their things around them.  In our experience the social bonds formed in play support collaboration on academic projects. In addition individual academic challenges arise naturally in play and are often resolved by research in the classroom.

We Teach and Model Effective Communication.
Children are encouraged to express their needs, stand up for themselves, take responsibility for their actions and make their own decisions through the use of conflict resolution skills. These skills are taught in preschool and throughout the school. Parents are also encouraged to use the same skills.

We Have a Strong Community

There is a strong sense of community that comes from parents, children and teachers working together on school management, classroom activities and social events. Collaboration creates a warm and caring environment where the child can feel safe and secure.
