St Bede’s offers an excellent academic education alongside a multitude of sporting and cultural opportunities for every boy. We are proud of our academic standards and were the highest performing non-private boys’ school in Canterbury in NCEA in 2018. International students can choose to live in the College dormitory or with homestay families. The small number of international students means that each boy recognised as an individual.

Te Aratai College has a wide variety of different cultures which we believe add to the rich tapestry of what we have to offer international students. Not only do our students experience life in a New Zealand secondary school, but they learn about many different cultures, backgrounds and life experiences. We embrace diversity and inclusiveness which we believe reflects both New Zealand's society today, and New Zealand’s global future. Te Aratai College students have an international understanding.

The Cathedral Grammar School offers the ideal preparation for high school years and beyond in an environment based on Anglican values, high expectations and individualised learning in small classes from Pre-School to Year 8.

Studying at UC International College (UCIC) will provide you with a pathway to a world-class University of Canterbury (UC) degree. The University of Canterbury was one of the top one percent of universities worldwide according to QS World Rankings 2020.

UC has much to offer international students, including world-recognised academic programmes, opportunities to explore the world, and an active student lifestyle. We treat International Students and local students the same – you start, progress, and finish as equals. In fact, no other New Zealand university puts as much emphasis on their level of care for International Students – before, during, and after your graduation.
