Summary
Greenpark School leads the way with a high quality learning environment for International Students. Students are exposed to many new opportunities in a significantly resourced environment and taught by committed teachers. Greenpark provides a supportive and caring learning environment to its students creating a vision of ‘learners for life’.
Our experienced International Manager and International Liaison Personnel work closely with all International Students and their families establishing a strong educational partnership. Our ESOL programme is led by expert literacy teachers who encourage students to explore our English language and express themselves confidently.
Greenpark School is recognised as one which focuses on the Arts providing specialist teachers in music, art and dance. Our Senior School Musical and School Art Exhibition programme highlight our talents and strengths in this area each year. Our purposely built technology suite will provide additional learning opportunities in science, robotics and soft materials.
Greenpark also provides its students with the opportunity to broaden their horizons and strives to give their students a better understanding of the global world through our International Exchange Programme. Through hosting students from Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan and Russia we have seen first-hand how hosting international students is a great opportunity to develop respect, knowledge and understanding of different cultures for both international students and our local students.
