IB Boarding School in Auckland, New Zealand
Auckland International College:
Established in 2003, Auckland International College is a New Zealand independent day and boarding school which offers a specialised 3-year senior secondary school education. The specific focus of the school is to prepare students for entry to top universities worldwide. As an IB World School it is the only NZ school to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma exclusively.
Five things parents of new boarders need to know:
- Your child has access to a first language friend or staff member whenever they need one.
- We will contact you if there are any serious worries, concerns or health issues.
- You are welcome to contact us via email or phone, in English or any other language as we will access translation services.
- No news really probably does mean good news. Your sons and daughters will devote time and energy to settling into school, learning routines and especially to making friends
- When you child is upset or complains it may be there is more to the issue and it is important to contact the hostel staff for a full picture.
Do boys and girls live in the same building? If so, will it cause any problems?
AIC Tower is a co-educational facility. The floor levels are separate for boys and girls, and cameras monitor the entrance and exits to every floor level. As the College is co-educational there are always opportunities for special friendships to develop. The staff at AIC Tower monitor this carefully, and remind students that a boarding house is like a big family, where we expect them to behave like brothers and sisters. AIC Loft is for girls only.
Will boarding house staff arrange any activities during the weekend and holidays?
The staff facilitate some compulsory activities and also respond with assistance in planning and providing transport for student initiated activities. The weekend and holiday programs are full of ideas and options for students, and staff are supportive of a balanced lifestyle - which means getting out and about!
Specialised Secondary Education (Year 11-13):
Year 11 students study the Preparation Year Programme for IB Diploma, while Year 12 and 13 students study the IB Diploma itself. In addition, all students study a SAT preparation course.
