Our immersive programme provides a unique opportunity for international students to experience New Zealand's culture and education system while enhancing their English language skills and building lifelong friendships. From participating in school events to exploring local attractions, students gain a deeper understanding of Kiwi life.

Our short-term programme is fully immersive, meaning students will join regular classes alongside local students. Please note that no specific ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) lessons will be offered, as the focus is on integrating into the mainstream curriculum and experiencing education as local students do.

Our dedicated Director of International Students, Dean of International Students and student buddies help short-term students feel at home, offering guidance and support throughout their stay.

Accommodation

Marsden does not offer homestay accommodation for short-term international students. Families are responsible for arranging their own accommodation during their stay.
