Unique New Zealand has 2 campuses in beautiful Browns Bay, one campus for students 18 years and over, the other for students under 18. Our English language courses prepare students for leisure, travel, business, high school, university or for general communication across national borders. Our English + Activities programmes are designed to give students, ages 8 - 18, fun, adventures, an introduction to Kiwi culture and English language skills during their school vacations. From July 2008 Unique New Zealand will introduce a new English + Rugby programme. This programme is designed especially for students who wish to master English language while fine tuning their rugby playing skills using tried and true New Zealand methods.
