Dear Parents / Guardians
Thank you for showing interest in our elementary school.
Tara House Academy was founded in January 2022 by Meraai Helm and Anni Roth. Both ladies are experienced and passionate about the full, and holistic development of children. They aim for a happy, fun, interesting; and safe space for children to grow in and focus on a concrete, play-centered learning environment.
Our main objective is to offer an innovative, small, and customised learning experience. Tara House is not a traditional school, but we cater for neurotypical children over a holistic spectrum, which reflects the needs of future generations.

We believe in a child-centered approach within a modern and forward-thinking learning environment. We also believe that children must take responsibility for their learning and learn independence within today’s society.
“In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.”
