Educational Institutions
Huntley School
Huntley draws a small number of students from overseas each year. Currently there are boys from Korea, Hong Kong and USA. In recent years we have also had boys from Japan, Thailand,Rwanda, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, some of whom were New Zealand boys whose parents resided overseas. All boys whose first language is not English are given ten English as a Second Language (ESL) lessons per week. These lessons are in small groups. The rest of the lessons are in the normal classes. This total immersion programme is proving to be extremely effective. The boys' English improves rapidly whilst living at school 24 hours a day with more than one hundred English-speaking boys their own age.
Manawatu - Wanganui
The Manawatu and Wanganui districts are popular with international students.
A warm welcome to Huntley School, an outstanding independent school for boys aged 9 to 13 years. Founded in 1896 Huntley is the oldest preparatory boys' boarding and day school in New Zealand. With a current roll of 157 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, Huntley has the largest number of preparatory school boarders in New Zealand.
We are the preparatory boys' boarding school specialists. If you are considering preparatory boarding for your son, Huntley is where he needs to be. In 2008 we have finished our four year building project and refurbishment of the school.
For the first fifty-seven years of its existence Huntley was privately owned by successive Headmasters, until a Trust Board was formed in 1954 to purchase and administer the school. The school is located on thirteen hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds situated on the outskirts of Marton in the Rangitikei District of the North Island.
