Day & Boarding School for Boys in New Zealand

Medbury School, Christchurch:
Medbury School is recognised by parents and educators as one of Australasia’s leading private primary schools for the education of boys from Years 1 to 8 (ages 5-13). Located in Christchurch, New Zealand, the preparatory school is both a day and boarding school. Our vision is to ‘Unlock Every Boy’s Potential', which is achieved by having personalised learning programmes and a world class delivery of the curriculum, underpinned with a strong set of traditional Christian values.

At Medbury School we know what it takes to make the boys happy and how to unlock their true potential.  The school provides a safe and caring learning environment for boys aged 5 to 13, where both dayboys and boarders thrive, guided by well established boundaries, strong pastoral care and exceptional peer support.  We provide learning experiences, inside and outside the classroom, that challenge and support our boys to:

- Be numerate, literate and articulate
- Challenge themselves and unlock their potential
- Be confident and a critical and creative thinker
- Display global awareness and citizenship
- Accept responsibility for his life and learning
- Understand and value the contribution made by others
- Be an active participant in the school community
- Be respectful of all ages and cultures

A very experienced and dedicated staff supported by a strong parent community, and an active Old Boys’ Association all work closely to ensure that Medbury remains true to its founding values, while evolving as a modern school to meet the educational and social needs of the boys.
