Located in the ultra-modern Saatchi and Saatchi building, and set in the middle of Wellington’s bustling inner-city café district, the school opened in September 2004, but it is already a busy place. The school is small with only 7 classrooms, and between 40-70 students. Located on one floor, there is a large student common room with table tennis, and kitchen facilities for those who want to warm up their own lunches. Students can use the school facilities, computers and library to improve their English, or just step outside for a coffee or something to eat. There are over 30 restaurants and bars within 2 minutes walk from the school so they are not short of choice!

All teachers have degrees, specialist English-teaching qualifications and overseas experience. The counselors are fluent in at least 2 languages. The homestays live on average 15-20 minutes from the city centre and are welcoming and friendly towards international students.

All the GEOS schools in New Zealand and Australia stay in touch with each other, and offer students the special possibility of a co-ordinated study programme between cities – and even countries. GEOS “SuperLink” allows students to move between designated GEOS schools at no extra cost to themselves.

Wellington

New Zealand’s capital city is famous for its strong arts culture and intimate city atmosphere. Located on a picturesque harbour, surrounded by dramatic hills, Wellington is home to New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa, along with over 50 other museums and galleries.

You can explore the centre of the city simply by walking: at just two kilometres across, the vibrancy and excitement of the city’s cool cafes, elegant department stores, designer boutiques and local arts and craft markets are all within easy reach.

There are lots of outdoor attractions nearby and Wellington’s central location makes it the ideal starting point to see the rest of New Zealand. Wellington has a temperate climate with the greatest amount of sunshine in NZ.
