Description
Christchurch, also known as “New Zealand’s
Garden City”, is a very lush, green city with parks,
gardens, stores, restaurants and a lot of culture. The
school was founded in 1992 and is situated in the heart
of the city, close to the Information Center, with a view
of the Avon River and only 2 minutes away from the Cathedral
Square.
The school offers a spacious student’s hall, individual
study rooms, free Internet and e-mail access and free
coffee and tea.
Accommodation
The School recommends that its students stay with host
families, as it is a much more enriching experience and
helps students adapt to speaking English by sharing the
dinner table with New Zealanders. Rooms can be single
or double, and include half board on weekdays (breakfast
and dinner) with lunch added on weekends.
Academics
Besides the General English Course, a full time course
(between 5 and 9 daily lessons) the School specializes
in preparing students for Cambridge exams. These exam
courses are made up of 4 daily lessons and with only 10
students per class. In order to sit for the TOEIC exam,
students are prepared with 2 daily lessons and also a
maximum of 10 students per class.
Activities
Outdoor activities are very popular given the school’s
location. Weekend excursions, rollerblading, numerous
sports, wining and dining and pub nights are some of the
activities the city offers.
