Why did you choose to send both of your children to GEIS and each for 2 years?
_"My children went to GEIS for short term study before we decided for long term. They liked GEIS learning environment which had positive approach and encouraged open thinking. Teachers were caring. Homestay were great and friends were nice. Once we chose NZ study, we decided we should start early so our children would not have any language or life skill burden to pursue further study in high school and university. They will have confident to choose whatever difficult subjects they want to study."___ เราเริ่มจากการส่งลูกไปเรียนที่ GEIS ระยะสั้น 3 เดือน ประสบการณ์ดีๆที่ได้รับทั้งในเรื่องของการเรียนการสอนที่กระตุ้นความคิด คุณครูเอาใจใส่เด็กอย่างใกล้ชิด เพื่อนๆสุภาพน่ารัก และ ครอบครัวโฮมสเตย์ดูแลลูกของเราเสมือนเป็นลูกแท้ๆของเขา ทำให้เราตัดสินใจส่งลูกมาเรียนที่นิวซีแลนด์ เมื่อตัดสินแล้วเราคิดว่าควรจะส่งลูกมาเริ่มที่ Intermediate school เลย เพื่อให้เวลาเต็มที่ในการปรับตัวทั้งในเรื่องของทักษะภาษาและทักษะในการดำเนินชีวิต ลูกจะได้มีความพร้อมเต็มที่ในการเลือกเรียนต่อในสิ่งที่ใจต้องการ

"We are grateful that she feels emotionally secure and has become more confident in herself. We believe that at this stage of her life, this is the most crucial thing that my daughter needs. We would like to express our full gratitude to GEIS for helping my daughter achieve this much in such a short amount of time. Thank you so much." - Korean parent

Studying at GEIS

• GEIS promotes excellence by providing students with a balanced curriculum and a wide variety of learning opportunities that are reflective of the students needs and interests.

• There are a limited number of International Students which means only 1 International Student is placed per homeroom class. This enables them to be fully immersed in an English speaking environment.

• Students at GEIS are offered a broad curriculum. Our modern facilities are specifically designed to cater for the middle years (i.e Year 7 & 8). GEIS is renowned for the amazing opportunities on offer for our students, including a wide range of specialist classes, performing & visual arts, TV station, sports & cultural groups, academic competitions, ESOL classes, Enrichment programmes, after school classes & sister school relationships.

• Pathways for our Internationals: We have strong links with our local Primary and Secondary Schools. Many of our International students move on from us to study further at High School and later Auckland University.

"Dear Mrs. Lesley King, Hello! This is Sue and John, Jongsoon’s (Christina) parents. We are utterly grateful for your kindness towards our daughter. Thank you once again for providing our daughter with a great opportunity to adapt easily in a new country. Our daughter has mentioned several times that she is very touched by her school friends and teachers, and she has been able to thrive and mature because of the accepting atmosphere of New Zealand culture.

Auckland is rated the ‘3rd most liveable city in the World’ in the 2019 Mercer Quality of Living Survey. We constantly rate as one of the best places to live, for our cleanliness, infrastructure, people & climate and our huge range of activities. Auckland is the home of 1.5 million people and home to a third of the country’s population.

New Zealand is the world’s 2nd most peaceful, politically stable country with some of the world’s lowest rates of corruption (Global Peace Index 2018). Our NZ teaching style offers practical hands on learning where students learn to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, effective communicators & collaborators. New Zealand is a great place for International Students to study.

"In South Korea when a new term begins, we start with introducing ourselves. In that process, New Zealand cannot be left out, and it was GEIS that made a significant role to make New Zealand a country that is left bold in my memories." 한국에서는 학기가 새로 시작되거나 새로운 곳에 갔을 때 대부분 자기소개를 한다. 그 과정에서 New Zealand 내용이 빠질 수 없다. 그만큼 나에게 기억이 많이 남는 나라로 자리잡게 해준 것은 글랜이든 학교가 큰 역할을 한 것 같다.
