New Zealand is a country of extraordinary and varied natural beauty, abundant fresh air, rich Maori culture, rugby worship and fine wining and dining. Epitomising all this, and standing proud on the northern shores of its North Island, is its fastest-growing city, Auckland. Nicknamed the ‘City of Sails’ for its spectacular location on a peninsula jutting out into the Pacific, and surrounded by dense subtropical forest, Auckland is a water- and nature-lover’s paradise. Its waterfront is buzzing, and inland its many districts and suburbs are bursting with culture, museums and festivals.
Students who choose to learn English in Auckland can take part in a variety of activities organised by the school, ranging from pub evenings and movie nights to white water rafting and an evening cruise in the Bay of Islands. This is a great way to make friends with others at the school and practise your English outside class. We can also arrange your accommodation in Auckland in an apartment or youth hostel, or with a local family. The best bit is that you can enjoy all this in the knowledge that the rest of this stunning country is within tantalisingly easy reach.
