About Us

Where we have come from helps us to be who we are today. Read on to learn more about what makes us tick.

The Private Education Advantage

As a long-standing provider of private education in New Zealand, we pride ourselves on utilising the best available resources and knowledge to deliver a top quality education to our students.

One of the key benefits of attending Chilton is that we maintain small class sizes.  This ensures the teachers have time to focus on the learning of every student in the class.

As a private school we focus on excellence rather than mediocity.

Being an independent or private School, we control our curriculum and the way we deliver it. 

We operate a vertical timetable in which students from Years 10 upwards have the opportunity to study NCEA subjects on flexible programmes.  In practice, a student can take a Level 1 NCEA subject at Year 10 and accelerate through to Level 3 by Year 12.  The opportunities then abound for girls to study Scholarship and/or University studies in the subject they are passionate about, while still taking a variety of other subjects to ensure an all-round education for the future.

The flexibility extends to the extensive co-curricular programme.  Diverse options are offered by specialist teachers at the top of their game and who are recognised in their own right as professional musicians, performers and sports people.  The quality of our facilities and the passion of our students continue to motivate these outside professionals to be a part of the School and the results speak for themselves.
