Accommodation

Host family
New Zealanders are known for their friendliness and hospitality. There are many advantages to staying with a host family, including of course the opportunity to constantly practise the language in everyday situations. Also, the families provide breakfast and dinner, making this an attractive option financially. Students have their own rooms, and must allow between 15 and 30 minutes on public transport to get to the school. 

Leisure

New Zealand offers an extremely varied range of leisure activities, and each week the school organises a program of social, sports and cultural events. The city’s numerous parks with their lush vegetation are ideal for sports or picnics with friends. In town, you will find a large number of bars and nightclubs, known for their LIVE ambiance, as well as several theatres and cinemas. Near Auckland, the subtropical climate and the closeness of the Pacific Ocean will allow you to discover surfing (the Coromandel region is one hour away) and other aquatic activities (Bay of Islands).
