High School Preparation

This course is designed for international students aged 14 and over who wish to enter a New Zealand High School.

Most international students, for whom English is their second language, have difficulty understanding the teachers and study notes at high school if their English is not Intermediate level or above.

For these students we suggest 12 weeks study before beginning the new school year in February.

However, students can start any Monday and study for as long as they like.

If students first study at New Horizon they will:

Be able to improve their general and subject specific English in a small, supportive environment
Adjust to New Zealand life
Join small classes with a lot of one-to-one teacher contact time
Meet students from other nationalities and make new friends

Benefits for High School Teachers:

Students have a higher level of English
Students have experience of New Zealand culture and lifestyle
Students have more confidence in communicating with teachers and New Zealand students
New Horizon provides detailed progress reports

Give your students the best possible start to their high school study – send them to us for quality preparation.
