Whangarei Adventist Christian School is a co-educational full primary school in Whangarei, within the Northland Region, operating in the state : integrated sector, with 35 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 474. The school has been open since 1968.

With 35 students on roll, Whangarei Adventist Christian School is a very small school — larger than about 11% of New Zealand schools.
