New Plymouth Adventist Christian School is a co-educational full primary school in New Plymouth, within the Taranaki Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 63 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 443. The school has been open since 1981.

With 63 students on roll, New Plymouth Adventist Christian School is a small school — larger than about 18% of New Zealand schools.
