St Andrew's College is one of New Zealand’s leading co-educational day and boarding school, with around 1620 students from Pre-school to Year 13. Whatever our students’ talents and interests, wherever their curiosity may take them, St Andrew’s College provides them with opportunities to excel and shine. They leave us as confident, well-rounded young adults, who are prepared for life in today’s changing world.
We live in a co-ed world ... let's learn in one too
We provide a dynamic and enriching co-ed learning environment where your child will gain exposure to diverse perspectives, collaboration and inclusivity, ensuring they have the skills and mindset to navigate the world beyond the school gates.
Inspiring teachers provide personalised education programmes
With an emphasis on continuous assessment, real-world relevance, small class sizes and individualised pathways, our students receive a well-rounded education that fosters both academic achievement and personal growth.
Well-being and pastoral care is central to all we do
We believe that nurturing character is as important as cultivating intellect. We recognise that the learning process encompasses social, emotional and cognitive dimensions. Our focus is to ignite inspiration and fully engage the whole child.
Diverse opportunities allow students to explore and excel
We believe co-curricular activities play an essential role in a young person’s development. We offer a diverse range of opportunities in sports, music, and performance which helps our students discover their potential, express their talents, and strive for excellence.
"At St Andrew’s College young minds come together to share new experiences, gaining fresh perspectives from one another. Our students leave us as confident, resilient young adults, well-equipped to thrive in the complexities of today's world."
