International Student Programme
The unique Chisnallwood experience is available to international students from around the world.
International experience in childhood provides lifelong benefits. Since 1993, Chisnallwood has specialised in offering a stimulating and well-rounded New Zealand education to international students aged 10-14 years. Whether on a short-term or full time programme, your child's stay with us will help him or her progress through the rest of his or her education with increased ability and confidence. Our programmes and resources are proven to ensure your child's success and well-being.
Christchurch is located in the picturesque South Island of New Zealand and is known as New Zealand's Garden City. With a population of 300,000 it provides the amenities of a city, but is within easy reach of uncrowded beaches, clear rivers, fertile farmland and skifields amidst the spectacular snow-capped Southern Alps
Chisnallwood is a superb, well-resourced and stimulating learning environment that supports, challenges and rewards students in the pre-adolescent years. The school enjoys a well-deserved reputation for educational innovation, combining homeroom support with specialist teaching. Chisnallwood provides for academic development in the classroom along with wider activities such as sport, music and culture for a well-rounded education. The traditional values of integrity and respect are nurtured alongside personal growth and the realisation of individual differences.
We are proud to invite you to be a part of our school and its culture – your child will be warmly welcomed and looked after with care and attention by our dedicated staff and our students.
