At Western Springs College we welcome international students who want to experience a real Kiwi secondary school with high standards and modern values. We appreciate the cultural diversity students from other countries bring to our educational environment and have systems in place to ensure international students integrate easily with our local students.

Overseas students who have studied at Western Springs College appreciate the wide range of subjects we offer, our no-uniform policy and the dedication of our teachers. They also like how easy it was to make friends with Kiwi teens.

Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and main transport hub. The diverse landscape provides countless opportunities to get immersed in nature. In the west, lush native rainforest plunges down the hills to meet the sea on dramatic black sand beaches, while the east's sheltered golden sand beaches are fringed with red-flowering pohutukawa trees. To the north the rolling hills of wine country meet stunning coastlines and in the south you'll find picturesque country gardens, unspoilt forest and tranquil bays to explore.

Our campus is located in an attractive area of parks and reserves. The college is surrounded by museums, the Auckland Zoological Park, Western Springs Lakeside Park and roadside gardens.
