Study at Stanley Bay School
At Stanley Bay School, we welcome international students and are committed to making their time with us a memorable ‘kiwi’ experience.
Our international students are cared for in a safe, inclusive environment that embraces diversity. They are placed in a class with students in their year level and fully participate in all aspects of school life. When required, we can provide intensive small-group English lessons to make sure that our international students progress in English and across the school curriculum.

We offer a limited number of international placements for long and short-term students. This means that our international students are fully immersed in a New Zealand experience and that our International Team can provide high standards of care to ensure that studying at Stanley Bay is a positive and memorable experience. We are a strong and inclusive school community and an exciting place to learn!

At different points during the year students will focus on the skills and attributes that will enable them to display these dispositions. By teaching our students to behave in these ways we are helping them develop important 21st century skills and the key competencies laid down in the New Zealand curriculum document.
