AJHS openly celebrates that our campus comprises some 40 different nationalities and cultures. We regularly host visiting school groups from Japan, China, Thailand, and Korea who experience schooling in New Zealand and we also warmly welcome students from all over the world for long term stays. Our International Team is here to support the students, with staff who have the ability to speak Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, and Thai.
We pride ourselves in developing a nurturing and caring environment for our students and provide excellent support for our international students, in terms of academic achievement, ESOL programmes and pastoral care. The well-being and happiness of our international students is paramount to us.
