Where The Educating Ethos Here, Features A 'FRESHAZ' Approach!
We’re an education company based in the beautiful Wairarapa of New Zealand—working largely behind the scenes. We’re deeply intentional about staying 'FreshAz' in how leadership and learning evolves. That means fresh perspectives, fresh solutions, fresh dialogue, fresh research, and fresh approaches that challenge the status quo and keeps education relevant, authentic, and future-focused.
Education Architects At Your Service
We're focused on Leadership, Learning and a Long-term vision
To LEAD is to: Learn, Engage, Accelerate, Disrupt.
Let's Care and Collaborate, to Consciously Contribute.
What MOTIVATES Us?
Education is facing increasing demands to prepare students for jobs that have not yet been created, for technologies that have not yet been invented, to solve social problems that have not yet been anticipated (Source OECD), and for new businesses that have not yet been designed...
We are however, currently involved with education that extends to refugees, migrants, exchange students, entrepreneurial scenes, families, horticulture and agriculture to name a few... We're not school centric...
Fuel: Cognitive Science
We refrain from being fuelled by educational fads fuelled by collective hype - navigated instead, by scientific evidence that focuses on cognitive science. Educational psychology - the branch of psychology concerned with the scientific study of human learning, grounds our interactions and design.
​
We're into creatively redesigning learning - where Global citizenship prevails and boundaries are pushed - enhancing all for greater impact. Current clientele involve colleagues, refugees, migrants, school students, self-sufficient wanna-be-green-thumbs, parents, educators seeking a kiwi style and international exchange students.
Educational Psychology's Applied
We leverage psychological science and neuroscience, along with educational theory and practice, to understand the Emotional, Cognitive and Social aspects of learning. These weave into our educational architecture, design and advocacy.
To enable learners to think effectively, critically, creatively,
we need an interactive knowledge-rich environment for learning.
Design alone doesn't affect learning...
...but good teaching does. Educators play a key role getting students prepared for life after school and for some, as adults simply 'doing life'. But, how do we do justice to their learning environments? Are their needs really being tailored to the way educators and learners will use it? Is 'yes' the answer they'd give - if we took 'ourselves' out of the equation? Learners - no matter how old.
FreshAz is not school, online, nor campus centric.
Our reference to learning environments include the classroom, lecture halls and the online spaces, as much as it includes the cafes, engineering workshops, glasshouses, family life, gardens, engaging with the refugee and migrant sector, through to those who are exchange students from beyond NZ and so forth...
How big is our perspective?
Let's look at how outside the box our thinking is...
Cruise around and check us out! There was Our 2025 Comeback,
and a look into 'Dreaming Big' - with a youth age focus, but coming next, for 2026, we'll be profiling projects involving financial literacy in schools and expanding what's on offer to exchange students in NZ. Exciting stuff!
