Y Education is part of the Y movement in New Zealand which is all about tāngata and empowering communities' and people.
We believe the greatest support you can have, is the support from other people behind you. To be backed by someone. When you have that kind of support, anything is possible.
Every young tāngata deserves the chance to be educated and shape their future. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach to education, designed specifically for youth who want more than the traditional school system offers.
We are on a journey to guide young tāngata toward positive outcomes through unique educational experiences. We understand that everyone’s path is different, and by elevating mana, we change learner’s lives for the good.
At Y Education, you’ll find a supportive environment where your tutors will have your back. It’s a place where you can learn in a way that makes sense to you, pursue what excites you, and gain the qualifications that open doors to meaningful careers.
At Y Education, you can discover who you want to be. At Y Education, we believe in you.
