MIND, BODY, SPIRIT & HEART.
A well-rounded educAtion begins with four cornerstones.
With just over 900 students, outstanding facilities and the highest calibre of teaching staff, King’ s College prides itself on providing a high quality, all-round education tailored to the needs of each individual student. We measure success not solely with exam passes but by four developmental cornerstones which set our young men and women on a course to become the leaders, innovators, creators and role models of their generation.
the Mind King’ s College consistently ranks among the top New Zealand schools for NCEA and Cambridge International Examinations( CIE). We challenge every student to strive for excellence across all disciplines, regardless of their individual abilities and provide a balanced curriculum to prepare them for successful careers and lifelong learning.
the sPirit We believe that spiritual guidance is as important as academic learning.
As the social and spiritual heart of the school, King’ s College’ s beautiful chapel brings together students of all religions and cultures. Behind the chapel, the newly completed Chapel Close provides a tranquil space where students can take time to reflect and gather their thoughts.
the bodY The College’ s magnificent grounds are home to sports fields and facilities that reflect our sporting reputation. These include an eight-lane athletic track, all weather hockey turf, two gymnasia, squash and tennis courts and a heated swimming pool. Through sport, we seek to instill a healthy competitive spirit and the values of teamwork, physical fitness, commitment, and initiative. the heArt More than just a school, King’ s College is a vibrant community that students remain part of long after they pass through our gates. From healthy rivalries and lifelong friendships fostered among the boarding and day houses, our exceptional culture and music programmes and through our many projects with local schools, hospitals and charities, we promote a commitment to the arts and a culture of service and giving that our students take with them into their personal and professional lives.
