Welcome to Nelson College—a place where you can grow and feel at home
Our students come from all corners of the world—Europe, Asia, the Americas, the South Pacific, and Australia. Each arrives with unique aspirations, and it has been my privilege to support every young man on his journey here.
At Nelson College, we embrace cultural diversity and the unique perspectives that international students bring. We encourage you to get fully involved in the school’s co-curricular life, whether through sports, arts, or leadership opportunities, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Many of our international students join our high school programme to prepare for tertiary education. Nelson College has a long-standing reputation for academic excellence, providing an environment where international students can thrive in their chosen pathways. We also welcome students who wish to come for a term or semester, offering a chance to learn, explore, and experience a new culture.
I invite you to become part of the Nelson College community, experience the Kiwi lifestyle, and work towards achieving your academic and personal goals.
