About Us

Tonga's formal education system began in 1828 with the establishment of schools by the Wesleyan Mission, preceding the widespread conversion of Tongans to Christianity. The Mission maintained control over nearly all primary education until 1882, when the government assumed responsibility for the educational system. However, in 1906, missionary organizations were again permitted to open their own schools.
