Located in Queenstown, New Zealand's premier four-season lake and alpine resort, ABC College of English offers a beautiful and exciting environment to study English. Conveniently situated in the centre of town, the NZ owned school is close to the central bus stop, shops, cafes, banks and lake beach. From our student lounge room and classrooms students can enjoy panoramic views of Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains.

ABC College of English has a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced staff. Communicative teaching methods are used to encourage natural interaction on a strong foundation of vocabulary and grammar. Our professional teachers are responsive to individual goals and learning styles and our small class size (6-7 students on average - maximum 10) allows enhanced attention to learners’ needs and progress.

The school runs organized weekly activities allowing teacher-assisted interaction in the community.
