Step by step – it’s easier than it looks
This page breaks down the key stages from your first enquiry to the moment your child sits in a New Zealand classroom, so you know roughly when to start and who is responsible at each step.
- Decide on approximate dates and budget, then share your plans with us online.
- We design a 2‑ to 8‑week placement based on age, year level, and English, with an itemised budget.
- School offers and visas are handled by compliant partners; we support documentation and bilingual communication.
- Before you fly, accommodation, airport pickup, and a pre‑departure briefing are all in place.
We generally recommend starting 3–6 months in advance to allow time for schools and visas.
How it works
A clear process so families always know what happens next and who is responsible.
Parents tell us about the child’s age, year level, English level, and preferred dates in New Zealand.
We recommend city and school options and provide an initial budget with an itemised breakdown.
Once you are happy with the plan, you sign a service agreement with EduLink to secure the placement.
We help prepare school application documents and connect you with licensed advisers for visa services.
Confirm accommodation, airport pickup, and local transport and travel arrangements.
We explain school routines, dress codes, what to bring, and answer common questions so your child feels prepared.
Your child joins their class; we stay in touch and help if communication issues arise.
After the programme, we review the experience with you and your child, and can discuss future options if you wish.
