Quality Standards

NZQA Approved

All member schools across New Zealand are approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and are signatories to the New Zealand Ministry of Education Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.

Audited Standards

Over and above their NZQA approval and accreditation, English New Zealand member schools are audited using the English New Zealand Standards. These rigorous standards encompass all services provided by our schools and measure best practice in the areas of:

  • academic content
  • academic staff qualifications and experience
  • professional support and development
  • curriculum design and delivery
  • student assessment
  • the learning environment and resources
  • self assessment and student feedback
