We arrange homestays for students with local families. These families all enjoy meeting students from other countries. They are also happy to help them with their studies and other interests while they are in New Zealand.
We try to match students with a suitable homestay, according to their interests. The families are all personally known to school staff, and homes are of a good standard.
Some homes are within walking distance from school, others a short bicycle or bus ride away. The town is very flat and traffic is light so cycling is easy.
Mount Maunganui is one of New Zealand's best-loved beach resorts - this is where New Zealanders go for summer holidays. Come and find out why!
That's right, we are located about 2.5 hours drive from Auckland International Airport.
Definitely not! Yes we are in a fun location, but our study programmes are serious.
If you want a six-month Academic Preparation course, or if you just want to brush up your English for two weeks, we take your study goals seriously.
And after all that hard work, the beach is the perfect place to relax!
Being a small school means the number of students per class is lower, so you have more chances to speak with your teacher than in a big class.
Our students consistently achieve excellent exam scores in New Zealand in Cambridge and IELTS examinations. Being small means we treat you like a member of our own family and can personalise your study plan for you.
We accept students from 14 years old, and we have no upper age limit. The average age of our students is 25 years old, but we regularly have students aged in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. Any age is a good age to learn English!
