International Student Enrolment Application
Carmel College is one of the top-ranked secondary schools in New Zealand. Whether you are looking at coming to Carmel College to further your education or simply to improve your English and enjoy the Kiwi experience, we can provide you with a programme to suit.
We enrol around 50 international students in a year, so spaces are limited. We therefore encourage you to submit your application in good time.
Enrolment Procedure
Please complete our ONLINE APPLICATION. Make sure you have a copy of your passport, school report (and vaccination certificate and insurance if applicable) to upload with your application. If you do require a paper application form, please email international@carmel.school.nz
When your application has been accessed, we will then arrange an interview. For students living offshore, we will arrange an interview via a media platform. The preliminary interview is to give students the opportunity to ask questions and to make sure their level of English will enable participation in class.
If your application is approved, you will receive an ‘Offer of Place’ to study at Carmel College. You will probably be nervous about coming to a new country to study and make friends. We will provide plenty of support to help you settle in, but we encourage you to read our PRE-DEPARTURE INFORMATION BOOKLET before you leave.
We would also strongly recommend the use of an Education Agent to assist you in the application process.
