Request informationNew Zealand
New Zealand is a country of rare beauty and variety: glacial mountains, powerful rivers, deep clear lakes, geysers and bubbling mud. Land of the Māori, it captivates with tribal traditions, unspoilt spaces and wild nature.
The "Kiwis", as New Zealanders are known, are famous the world over for their cheerfulness and their attachment to nature. Keepers of a culture that blends European and Māori heritage, they are an ingenious, caring and remarkably easy-going people.
The school system
The New Zealand system is Anglo-Saxon in style, rich in extracurricular activities and sport, with an eight-year primary cycle and a five-year secondary cycle. Learning is based on active participation, encouraging curiosity and creativity.
The school year runs from late January to early December, split into four terms. Single-sex schools are common, and uniform is the rule.
Info

What they say about us
“Here I am at the end of this experience. I don't know how to feel — I'm sad because I'd built a life here, but also happy to see the people I love again. I never thought I'd spend days so full and so active this far from home. It has all been a beautiful discovery. This isn't goodbye, just see-you-soon.”
