For Families

Give your child a safe, authentic New Zealand classroom experience

This page is for parents and students who want to understand how short-term study visits work, who they are suitable for, and how EduLink supports you from the first idea to the moment your child sits in a New Zealand classroom.

  • Best suited for children roughly 5–13 years old in primary or lower‑secondary years (roughly New Zealand Years 1–8).
  • Flexible placement length: typically 4–10 weeks for better settling and immersion.
  • Real classroom experience, with the option to combine with family travel.

Common questions from families

If these sound like you, you’re in the right place.

Typical concerns

  • Which schools are open to short-term placements and which city should we choose?
  • What visa type is required and what documents do we need?
  • How do we avoid hidden fees and unclear pricing?
  • How can we communicate with the school if our English is limited?
  • How do we organise accommodation, transport, and travel while our child studies?

How EduLink helps

  • Recommend suitable schools and classes based on age, level, and interests.
  • Design 2‑week to 2‑month programmes with clear budgets and trade‑offs.
  • Provide itemised cost breakdowns and plain‑language summaries of terms.
  • Support documentation and bilingual communication with schools.
  • Connect you with licensed immigration advisers or lawyers for visa services.
  • Help arrange accommodation, airport pickup, SIM cards, insurance, and local travel.

What your child can gain
