Overseas High School students intending to study
at New Zealand High Schools would need a good
level of English. Direct enrolment into New
Zealand High School is possible but it is
recommended that students improve their English
and learn about New Zealand before attempting to
study at the High Schools. By enrolling on
Waikato Institute of Education’s
High School Preparation
programme, students can improve their
English and learn about New Zealand school
culture, study systems or methods, exams and
further tertiary education available in New
Zealand. After completing Waikato Institute of
Education’s programme, students will be better
prepared to study in
