Christchurch

Christchurch is on the east coast of New Zealand. It is an ideal starting point to learn English and to discover the sheltered bays, sandy beaches, bush clad valleys and the rocky coastline of the Canterbury region.
The town is characterised by a multitude of colonial and modern buildings, a botanic garden as well as various parks. Christchurch is also a multicultural and cosmopolitan town.

The school

Our language school in Christchurch is located in a modern building in the centre of Christchurch. One of Christchurch's biggest parks is only a few minutes away and can be reached by foot. A cosy café is located on the ground floor of the school building. Many restaurants and shops are near by and can also be reached by foot. All of our teachers are specialised in teaching English as a foreign language. The school has 5 classrooms which are all air-conditioned and equipped modernly.

Combination Course

You can book an 8- or 12-week language course (intensive course) and choose the course locations yourself. You can choose from Christchurch, Auckland and Queenstown. An 8-week language course consists of 4 weeks at one destination. For a two-location-course, the flight to the next course location is not included in the price and costs £ 93 per way. A combination course with 3 course locations lasts for 12 weeks with 4 weeks spent at each location. You can also choose only two cities and stay for 6 weeks at one destination. The 12-week course includes one transfer (flight or coach), each additional transfer cost £ 93 per way.

LISA! Quality Mark

The language school, recognised by NZQA and English New Zealand, offers great value for money due to the reasonable exchange rates for Euros.

Sightseeing in Christchurch

Christchurch is a meeting point for young and old and is perfect for shopping and entertainment. The large parks are ideal for relaxing.
We recommend a visit to the Arts Centre which is accommodated in the old university buildings, which is within strolling distance of Canterbury Museum and the Botanic Gardens.

The area around the Arts Centre is home to various pubs, cafes, galleries, theatres, cinemas and markets. There is lunchtime music every Friday and during the Summer you will find various artists performing in the streets.
We strongly recommend a visit to the International Antarctic Center which has been named New Zealand’s best attraction. You can experience snow, ice and your own antarctic expedition and it is open daily.
The river Avon which flows through the town is ideal for sightseeing by canoe.
We also recommend weekend trips to Canterbury and to the seaside.
