Te Kaupapa o Ako Raukura
Ako Raukura is a learning space dedicated to the revitalisation of Te Reo Māori and the tikanga that surrounds it. Through structured lessons, guided programmes, and supportive resources, we help ākonga and whānau build confidence, deepen their understanding, and live their reo every day. Our kaupapa is to nurture lifelong learners who carry our language and stories forward for future generations.
Community Classes
Our kanohi-ki-te-kanohi (face-to-face) programmes create a warm, supportive space where you can learn Te Reo Māori alongside others. Guided by experienced kaiako, you’ll practise kōrero, waiata, and tikanga in real time, build confidence through interaction, and form genuine connections with your learning whānau. These in-person sessions are perfect for those who value shared experience, collective learning, and being immersed in te ao Māori.
Online Learning
Our online programmes let you learn Te Reo Māori from wherever you are, in a way that fits your life. With structured lessons, interactive activities, and guided support from our kaiako, you can progress at your own pace while still feeling connected to a wider learning whānau. Whether you’re just starting out or building on existing knowledge, our digital spaces are designed to keep you engaged, supported, and grounded in te ao Māori.
Individual & Groups
Our private classes offer tailored Te Reo Māori learning for individuals, whānau, or small groups who want focused support. Working closely with our kaiako, you’ll follow a learning plan that matches your goals, pace, and level of confidence. Whether you’re preparing for a specific kaupapa, strengthening your everyday reo, or supporting tamariki at home, these sessions give you dedicated time, feedback, and guidance in a safe, encouraging space.
Ako Raukura supports you. Our programmes are designed by Māori, for Māori, ensuring a learning path that celebrates our unique identity and empowers your cultural voice.
