Q&A - Questions and answers about New Zealand

  • Yes, we have great courses for children his age - A Study & Live in your Teacher's Home programme would be best for him. As these classes take students from as little as 5 years of age.

  • If you are highly proficient in English, you might be able to prepare for IELTS in just a month. Highly skilled users in English only need to concentrate their studies on the knowledge of the exam and its strategy. And you can learn the structure of an exam and the best strategies for the test pretty quickly.

FAQ about schools in New Zealand

  • Almost all the schools in New Zealand that we work with are open from 8:00 to 18:00. Evening classes are not available as the morning hours are very popular. Schools are closed on weekends, but we will be happy to offer private classes to prepare you for IELTS.
    Maksym Sterpul, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
  • As for the length of the stay, it is difficult to say because it depends on each student. However, in our experience, the schools tell us that it takes at least 4 weeks to go from one level to another.

  • Homestay is the option that we recommend for a true, full-on immersion experience and if you include either full or half board, then you also get to keep practising around the dinner table, learning much more about the culture and traditions than you would otherwise.
