About ABC College of English (NZ/Queenstown)
With over 36 English schools spread across NZ students are certainly spoilt for choice.
Like ABC, most are NZQA category 1 providers. So what does that mean? Essentialy, wherever they study your students will be in capable hands and will receive excellent tuition from highly trained and experienced professionals.
If we all have the same level of quality and commitment to excellence how do students then choose a provider? At ABC we believe it comes down to what you can do outside the classroom that makes a difference.
Why Choose ABC ?
One of our unique points of difference is that we are located in Queenstown, New Zealand's Home of Adventure and the Adventure Tourism Capital of the world.
So what IS adventure? Adventure can be jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet, cascading down the whitewater rapids in a raft or even as simple as a walk aroud the gardens or along the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
What does this mean for your students? So in adition to a high quality educational programme your students will also have the opportunity to experience a life style second to none. Better yet all these experiences are right on their doorstep. No need for extensive travel or weekends away. Most activities are accesed from the heart of Queenstown.
A Resort of 4 Seasons
Although we are a "year round Resort" and you can undertake most activities at any time Queenstown has 4 distinct seasons, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring, each bringing their own unique charm and range of activities.
As Summer comes to an end we are heading into one of our most colouful seasons as you can see below.
Autumn attracts those from around the world who want to experience the transformation of the landscape as Queenstown turns green to gold.
