• Small Classroom Sizes - Small classroom sizes allow our teachers to get to know your child’s goals and aspirations individually. At Wentworth College our junior classes are around 22 students and in the senior school they seldom exceed 15 students with usually less than 10 students in A2 classes. These small class numbers allow us to closely support individuals to make sure they reach their full potential.
• ESOL -  Our ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) programme continues to successfully support International Students in their English language development. Most of our International Students attend an ESOL lesson every day, in addition to their English lessons and for the remainder of their timetable, they are in mainstream classes doing their subject options. Students arriving with little English soon become proficient, and the extra support and attention in these lessons enable better integration in to mainstream classes. 
• Our Location - Situated at the end of the beautiful Whangaparaoa Peninsula, just 35 minutes north of Auckland, Wentworth College and Primary School is located in a truly beautiful part of New Zealand.   The community is extremely safe and residents enjoy a high standard of living.  We have 23 beaches, 2 beautiful golf courses, a stunning regional park and marine reserve on our doorstep.
• Homestay Family -  We are extremely fortunate that we have some wonderful homestay families near to the school. Many of the homestay families have been hosting International Students for many years, and provide our students with a loving and stable home environment.
• Education Outside the Classroom - Students can participate in many activities, including outdoor education camps, the Duke of Edinburgh awards, learn to sail programmes, tramping, camping, beach clean ups and overseas trips, to widen their knowledge of New Zealand and the beautiful things this country has to offer.
