All have extensive teaching experience, both in New Zealand and overseas, and all are committed to helping students in a friendly, encouraging way. 1 General Purpose English Graded inlingua material is used and the aim is for each student to understand and speak English in any international situation.

Students have their own room, but share meals with their hosts.
The school selects and arranges this accommodation with host families who understand the needs of overseas students. Students can also stay in local hotels, motels or youth hostels if they prefer. Alternatively, they can take a domestic flight to Tauranga Airport, or use public transport to Auckland City and then take a bus or train to Tauranga, where they are met personally by a school staff member.
