We are a safe, clean, stable, modern country with a rich cultural heritage and high standard of living. Living and studying in New Zealand can also offer excellent value for money, with favourable tuition fees and living expenses when compared with other English-speaking destinations.
Safety and care standards are paramount. New Zealand was the first country to adopt a strict code of practice for the care of international students, which sets standards in and out of the classroom.
New Zealand qualifications are internationally respected and recognised. The New Zealand private schools sector ranks amongst the best in the world according to the Programme for International Student Assesment (PISA).
