TNIS is recognised as one of the highest achieving schools in New Zealand. We accept students aged 11 years to 13 years who would like to enrol for a year of study (minimum 1 Term).

Due to Covid-19 New Zealand borders remain closed to non-residents.  NZ offshore immigration offices in Beijing and Mumbai are currently closed. 

Immigration New Zealand is not accepting off-shore applications for any temporary visas (including visitor & student visas).

Students outside of New Zealand are still welcome to submit an enrolment form.  Following an online interview and application assessment, an Acceptance Letter will be given in place of an Offer until border restrictions are lifted.

We look forward to welcoming new International Students to New Zealand as soon as possible.
