BSNI maintains a very high standard of quality. All our teachers are minimum TESOL/CELTA trained and have English as a first language. We are also the only fully English owned and run school in New Zealand.

We accept individuals and groups from 8 to 80 years of age and will tailor courses and activities to your exact needs from first contact Language Training through to University options. Our team of specialists will handle your entire Academic Pathway and all associated Visa and Work Permit requirements. We can even buy your airline tickets to New Zealand to complete the package!

Our Homestay Accommodation options are second to none and we can guarantee a high-density English speaking area within walking distance or a short 5 to 10 minute bus ride from the school. If you want high speed internet access, or anything else, in your accommodation, we can find a place to suit your exact needs.

All our homestays are vetted by the NZ Police and inspected by BSNI to ensure they meet the safety standards laid down for the protection of international students.

Another important factor (apart from the NZ$, low cost of living and being the cleanest and greenest) in a world of unrest is that Auckland’s North Shore, specifically Takapuna Beach where BSNI is situated, has been officially voted amongst the world’s top ten safest tourist destinations for 2006 - and we’ll be ranked even higher in years to come!
