Our partnerschool Nelson English Centre is located in the sunniest city of New Zealand; Nelson. Nelson Region is a unique place of beaches, mountains and three stunning naional parks, including the famous Abel Tasman. Nelson offers a relaxed atmosphere for students to live and learn Engluish. Many students combine an English language course with working and travelling in New Zealand. The school offers support on many different areas, not just study, but also work, travelling, support to meet locals and more.

The school offers 12 classrooms and just like Nelson city, is relatively small. Therefore there’s plenty of individual attention for each student.

• BBQ parties
• Beach volleyball

• Frisbee
• Boxing
• Watercolour painting and crochet
