St Paul’s Collegiate School is a private day and boarding school that offers a boy’s only junior school from Years 9 to 10 (ages 13-15) and a co-educational senior school for Years 11-13 (ages 15-18 years).
The school is located in the middle of Hamilton city on 19-hectares of pristine gardens and grounds.
St Paul’s welcomes international students either as boarders living on campus or as day students living in homestay accommodation. All students are provided with a safe and secure environment where they can concentrate on their learning and develop their individual talents.
St Paul’s is recognised for its outstanding academic achievements. Students are able to study both NCEA, and Cambridge subjects and our small class sizes (10-20 students) are contributing factors. The school takes a well-balanced holistic approach to learning encouraging students to achieve their personal best in all areas of life.
What makes us unique?
