About Us

N to Z International’s key focus is on ensuring that international students in our care receive individual support and attention while they are in New Zealand. Since our establishment in 2006 we have successfully cared for about 300 international students a year.

We work with more than 70 New Zealand schools, both public and private. We also work with agents who assist students wishing to study in New Zealand high schools. We take direct enrolments from all countries except Germany, where students are referred to us by specialist New Zealand international study agents. We have partner agents in a number of countries for students who prefer to use an agent.

Our team in New Zealand

Our dedicated staff in Wellington and Auckland provide native speaker support and guidance for students throughout New Zealand. We share a commitment to helping students to thrive while in our care.

There’s a lot that has to come together when supporting a young visitor from another country. Our native speakers enjoy supporting young people while they’re away from home. Our homestay coordinators know what makes a good homestay experience. They have hosted many international students themselves and select only the best families.

We work closely with New Zealand schools and approved tour agencies to provide students with the experience of a lifetime.

N to Z International abides by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students issued by the New Zealand Ministry of Education.

It is a pleasure working with NtoZ, they are well organised and extremely good at communicating the needs of agents and students to our school.

It is a pleasure working with NtoZ, they are well organised and extremely good at communicating the needs of agents and students to our school. Their database ensures that dealing with them is an absolute joy. NtoZ students are brilliantly prepared for their stay after their orientation programme. NtoZ act as very strong advocates for their students. Their pastoral support of students in the students 1st language is second to none.

It is great to have a reliable partner in New Zealand. N to Z is there to help our students 24 hours a day no matter what the problem is. This makes our work here in Germany much more easier. The communication between N to Z and team! Sprachen & Reisen works really well which is also due to the new database N to Z just developed. The Preperation Course at the beginning of the High School Program helps the student to get adjusted to the new life in New Zealand. And the program Nto Z offers is just fantastic.
