The Correspondence School (Te Kura-a-Tuhi) is New Zealand's largest school, with 'over 20,000' students from early childhood to secondary level. In addition to its ordinary full time students, it provides programmes to students at other state-owned schools where a subject is unavailable, and to adults. Its focus is on school age students that are geographically isolated.
The school began in 1922 with 100 primary level students, expanding into secondary education in 1928 with 50 students and into early childhood education in 1976.
It is headquartered in Portland Cresent in Thorndon, Wellington.
