Schooling
There are three schools in the Turangi area. Within the Turangi township are two schools, both area schools which cater for Year 1 to 15 students. The schools opened in February 2004, following the Turangi Education Network Review that resulted in the closure of four schools:
- Hirangi Primary, Turangi Primary, Tongariro High and Tauranga Taupo Primary Schools were closed.
- A single Year 1 – 15 composite school was established (Tongariro School).
- A Wharekura for Year 1 – 13 students who wish to receive their education in te reo Māori, was established (Te Kura o Hirangi).
The third school is a rural school at Kuratau approximately 30 km west of Turangi on SH 41 to Taumarunui.

Famous quotes containing the word schooling:
“The old saying of Buffon’s that style is the man himself is as near the truth as we can get—but then most men mistake grammar for style, as they mistake correct spelling for words or schooling for education.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
