Academic
For High School, Polytechnic and University

We work closely with local schools to prepare students to settle easily into the New Zealand classroom situation and adapt to a method of study that may be new to them. We have found that our students achieve good results because they have gained confidence in a more sheltered environment.

We aim to fully prepare students for study at tertiary level in New Zealand, with a score of Band 6 in the IELTS Test. We recommend a minimum of 12 weeks study. However, the length of study depends on students' entry level and we have found that most students need at least 24 weeks to prepare themselves adequately.

Students will study the structure and functions of English language, in preparation for the Listening, Reading, Academic Writing and Speaking tests. Tests will be given at regular intervals so that students can measure their progress on the IELTS scale. New Zealand orientation will also be included in the course.

Tertiary Placements have been made at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic, Waikato University, Otago University, Crown Institute of Studies, Servilles Hairdressing Academy, Whitecliffe College of Art and Design.

We work closely with students, agents, parents and the high school to ensure that the best study options are chosen for the student. Our preferred partner school is Mount Maunganui College, an excellent local high school. Visit their website at www.mmc.school.nz We can also arrange placements at any high school in New Zealand on request.
