Read the comments below from several of our international students who told us about what it is like to be a student at Chilton.
“…New Zealand is very beautiful — the sky is too blue, the trees are too green, the climate is very good. The people in New Zealand are very friendly. In New Zealand there has few crime, there is safer than other western countries ... I chose Chilton because this is a very very good school. I found their teachers are very good…I love Chilton!”
“…I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me all the way through, to make my life so enjoyable at Chilton.”
“…After the NCEA examination, I will be a student in Auckland University. I will be doing the Bachelor of Planning in the Auckland University. I am very pleased about my next four years direction of study…I will still keep the effort in which I put into Chilton and try my best to catch the opportunity for the future of my life…”
“…The most special experience in New Zealand is that I went rock climbing at Titahi Bay…I went with my other classmates…. This was a good chance for me to talk to Kiwi [New Zealanders]. Then if I talk to Kiwi friends, I found they can answer with smiles….”
“Being in New Zealand and study in Chilton Saint James School is a very good experience. I’ve done lots of things which I never done before…I learnt how to live with other people in their community and my English is improved as well. So being in New Zealand is a good experience for my life.”
“…New Zealand has a very good environment for students who want to study hard. Especially Chilton is a great school. They have nice homestays and good buildings and kind people.”
