Primary and Secondary Schools Education

Children attend nursery schools at about five years old and at seven they start their six years of primary education. After completing year 6, at around 13 years old, they then pursue their four years of junior secondary education, which they complete in year 10. They then take another 3 year to complete their senior high school. Students at around 17 or 18 may embark on their higher education at the Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education or private training institutes.

While the majority of the schools are state maintained, there are some private ones, which have their special philosophical thinking and religious denominations. Overseas students can choose both the private and the state secondary and primary schools, which are free to set their own admissions criteria. 

There are about 400 state and private secondary schools in New Zealand, which all follow the national curriculum laid down by the Ministry of Education. Subjects include English, Social Science, General Science, Mathematics, Music, Art and Craft and Physical Education. Secondary year 11 students can choose to follow the Art or Science or Business stream.
