International Fee-Paying Students

Otonga School Te Kura o Tihiōtonga welcomes applications from international fee-paying students who are primary school age (5–11 years) and who will be living in New Zealand with a parent or legal guardian. 

Our Children from the Four Winds – Otonga Road Primary School

Otonga School is a signatory to the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice. This enables us to enrol international students who are residing with a parent in New Zealand. Copies of the Code are available here: The Tertiary and International Learners Code of Practice

Students must hold a current student visa before beginning school.

English Language Support

Otonga School has a fully qualified specialist ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) teacher who supports students whose first language is not English. When students begin at our school, they are assessed to determine the level of English language support required.

See school website: ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) – Otonga Road Primary School

International students are placed in the class appropriate for their age and participate fully in the daily learning program alongside their peers.

Fees are $3,500 per term or $14,000 per year

A minimum enrolment of one term is usually required to ensure stability for both the student and the class. Our school does not have a school uniform and students will get stationery and books etc.
