We are committed to delivering a high standard of service to our students and have gained a reputation for consistent, quality teaching and excellent pastoral support. Our school has personality. We are not a chain school, but owned by a teaching Director helped by proud Nelson staff. The school has a ‘buzz’' and you will have the time of your life. Nelson is small and lively. It has a campus feeling with cafes and style. People are friendly and talk to you in English. Most variety. Golden beaches, forests and mountains one hour from the city centre. We can’t think of any place in New Zealand with so much variety.
