Liston College
Secondary school in Auckland, New Zealand
Liston College is a boys school with 830 students aged 10 to 18 years, from all over the world and from various World Faiths (international students do not need to be Christian). We aim to grow young men with values of Presence, Love, Courage and Excellence. We are an intermediate and high school combined (i.e. NZ Year levels 7 - 13), neighbouring a girls school.
We are located in the beautiful natural environment of West of Auckland, on the edge of Waitakere Ranges Regional Park (forests, waterfalls, walking and cycling tracks, surf beaches, adventure activities), yet only 20 minutes drive from the downtown city centre of New Zealands largest city (Auckland). We have major transport links (train and bus) a few minutes walk from the school gate. We are in a major suburb of Auckland, with fantastic facilities (athletics and performance stadium, Olympic-sized swimming/ diving pools, shopping and dining, recreational clubs, sports grounds, etc.) close to our school and to our homestays.
We are a high performing academic and sporting school, offering the internationally recognised 'NCEA' - a flexible qualification enabling us to personalise subject timetables according to our students' choices. We give our students many options of pathways to careers, to practical Tertiary or technology training, and to Universities worldwide, including NZ's 8 excellent Universities.
We ensure each student achieves his potential, by closely monitoring and reporting on results and effort, working with homestays, parents and students to give lots of feedback and offer extra classes where needed.
About Auckland
