Christchurch - Canterbury

Christchurch is the main centre of the Canterbury region, an elegant old city close to the Southern Alps.

Canterbury College's multi-cultural, international campus is in the centre of downtown Christchurch City. We have a strict English-only policy to help you use English and learn faster. When you study at Canterbury College, you will make friends from many other countries, and also be close to the public library, banks, excellent shopping, movies and clubs, restaurants, public transport and much more.

Canterbury College teachers are all native speakers of English and hold internationally-recognised qualifications in teaching English as a foreign language. They are selected for their experience, flexibility and cultural sensitivity. Most of our teachers have lived overseas and have experienced some of the same feelings that you may experience when coming to New Zealand.

Our teachers aim to provide a friendly, yet academic environment to help you to improve quickly. At Canterbury College you will find comfortable classrooms, spacious student common room areas and fully-equipped kitchens, as well as a restaurant offering authentic food from Sichuan and Northeast China.
