Welcome

New Zealand is a great place to visit and study. Alfriston College welcomes international students from all over the world. Our school offers a city and rural experience. We are based to the South of Auckland City where we have easy access to beaches, the countryside and city life, so you can really make the most of what is on offer. Furthermore, we are close to Auckland International Airport, making your arrival even easier!

Programme for International Students

The College offers a flexible curriculum designed to meet the learning needs of every learner. It is important that you study the correct level for you, so we are happy for students to study subjects at various levels, even if that means studying in a different age group class.

We offer ESOL at all levels for students who need or want this extra support and we will test your English on arrival. Students at Years 9 and 10 study all the essential learning areas. In the senior school, international students are offered NCEA 1, 2 and 3 courses, leading to University entrance.
