Not all state schools in New Zealand apply the same prices. Also, some state schools offer boarding accommodation, at a comparable cost to living with a host family.
As explained in our eight step process, HSA will help you to find a suitable school, and to complete and submit your placement application (Steps 1-4).
The school requires payment only when the placement offer is accepted (see Steps 5 and 6, Confirming and Enrolling). At the same time, Highschool Australia will issue an invoice for its services. (This is a one-off lump-sum fee of $4600 NZD and is NOT included in the price list below).
