Kerikeri High School (Age 13 - 18) Kerikeri
Kerikeri High School has high standards and a proven track record of academic achievement but what makes them unique is the Kerikeri environment, the Sailing Academy and Theatre Arts Academy. Kerikeri is a vibrant, bustling town of about 10,000 people located in the beautiful Bay of Islands in northern New Zealand approximately 45 minutes by plane or 3 hours by car north of Auckland. Originally home to Maori villages, Kerikeri was one of the first places settled by European missionaries in the early 1800s. Kemp House and The Stone Store are the oldest buildings of their kind in New Zealand.
The warm sub-tropical climate is ideal for fruit growing and there is a long established horticultural industry based on successful citrus and kiwifruit production. World-class sailing, fishing, and diving are available in the Bay of Islands. Kerikeri has a unique lifestyle with numerous cafes, boutique shops, artists, and galleries. Kerikeri is in the sub-tropical north of New Zealand in the Bay of Islands. The Bay itself comprises some 144 islands and is a marine sport paradise offering: sailing, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, surfing, kite boarding and swimming.
