International students are a valued and important part of the Lindisfarne College family and are welcomed into our boarding hostels.  Their presence enriches our culture, strengthens global understanding, and reflects our belief that every young man grows best in a community built on respect, compassion and strong, supportive relationships.

We are proud of the confidence families place in us to care for their sons while they study in New Zealand.

Lindisfarne College offers international students an exceptional combination of high-quality boarding, personalised care, academic excellence, a range of sporting and cultural opportunities, and a safe environment where boys can grow into confident and responsible young men.
