A Global Education
“Our education is world class”
At Selwyn House, we aspire to grow globally minded learners and leaders of the future.
We warmly welcome international students. We celebrate the rich diversity and global influences international students bring to our community.
Selwyn House School offers small class sizes and an International Baccalaureate curriculum aimed at developing the academic, social and emotional wellbeing of our girls. Our caring and dedicated teachers are committed to helping girls find personal and academic success. Selwyn House School prepares girls for further study within New Zealand or overseas.
We encourage all girls to become involved in the life of the school. Opportunities to develop interests are available in a range of sports, music, drama, dance and a large variety of clubs.
Our school is located in Merivale, in the heart of Christchurch.
Christchurch is New Zealand’s second largest International Education destination. Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and with friendly Kiwis at every turn, Christchurch is a safe and popular choice for students from around the world.
International Student Application Process
To begin the process, Selwyn House School encourages each family to review the International Student Handbook.
Next, upon receiving a completed application, official documents and application fee, Selwyn House School will review your submitted information. During the process, we will require the following information:
• A copy or scan of the student’s Birth Certificate.
• A copy or scan of Passport photograph and the details section of your passport.
• A copy of Student Permit (if issued).
• A copy of the most recent school report (an English translation is appreciated).
International Enquiry
AFTER ENROLMENT IS RECEIVED
Upon acceptance of the enrolment, an Offer of Place will be sent to you. Immigration New Zealand requires students to have an Offer of Place from a New Zealand education provider before a Student Visa will be issued.
Parents of overseas students are responsible for arranging guardians and keeping the school informed of all details. A reasonable standard of English is desirable for International Students to ensure they gain maximum benefit from their experience.
