International Students Red Beach School welcomes and enrols students from all over the world. Over the years, we have enrolled many students from Asia, particularly from Korea. We have facilities to provide a quality educational experience for international students who are aged between 9 and 12 years of age. Our international students leave Red Beach School, confident in speaking, reading, and writing in English. Red Beach School is situated at the start of the beautiful Whangaparaoa Peninsula. It is 40 minutes from central Auckland and is an area surrounded by beaches, with wide views of the sea and surrounding islands. In New Zealand, schools are given a rating depending on the income and education level of the people located in the surrounding areas nearby. This "Decile" rating, ranges from 1 (lowest income districts) to 10 (highest income districts). Red Beach Primary School has a Decile rating of 9, which suggests that residents of this area generally enjoy a very good standard of living. Red Beach School employs a qualified ESOL teacher and runs an orientation programme for all new students. Students are then placed in classrooms at their appropriate year level and are regularly withdrawn in small groups for additional ESOL classes.
