However, if you have attended a school where lessons are conducted in English and providing our assessment confirms that you have enough English to study in the mainstream of our school, then we may consider putting you directly into the mainstream. Even in the mainstream you will have additional teacher support. You will be put in a mainstream class at your appropriate level. Generally the appropriate level is with students one year behind your chronological age. Whatever level you find yourself in we have a special English class for you.
All international students attend English classes.
These English classes cover similar content to the English studied in the mainstream, however there are fewer students and the material is adapted to make it easier for students like you who are from a non-English speaking background. As long as you like. We have special English classes at each level of the school. International students try to prepare for English examinations much the same as New Zealand students. We are experienced and understand the problems you have and try to help you all the way.
