Throughout the long history of Deaf education in New Zealand, van Asch has developed in its community a pride in educational achievement. Students are taught in small classes by qualified, experienced Teachers of the Deaf. Their programmes of instruction are based on individual education plans developed with input from the student and their family. Students have the opportunity to receive specialised one-to-one assistance with spoken language and literacy. They may also receive specialised support from the Centre's language assistant and communicators. The Centre's Deaf staff provide students with excellent role models.
