New Zealand High Schools have holidays 4 times a year: in December/January (6 weeks), April (2 weeks), July (2 weeks) and September (2 weeks).  During these holidays we offer Holiday English courses to international students studying at New Zealand high schools.

International students love to make new friends and have memorable holidays as well as improve their English so they come back to us year after year.

They can spend their holidays brushing up on their English. This is available to all students 14 and over. We offer IELTS preparation for the more advanced students and General English classes for those who are still struggling with the language.

We have developed a good relationship with many High Schools over the years and you can be assured that we will do our very best to take care of the students while they are studying with us. The students really enjoy meeting international students from other schools and sharing experiences.
