As a leading school for girls from Year 0-13, St Margaret’s offers a world-class education, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Exceptional teaching and curriculum development, complemented by a wide range of co-curricular and service activities, offer students a clear route to top universities globally.
Our international students develop confidence, leadership, and resilience as part of their everyday learning. A team of teaching, pastoral and boarding staff coordinated by our International Student Manager, ensures a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment.
In our boarding houses, your daughter will join a community comprising students from New Zealand and international students from around the world. With dedicated staff and strong friendships, girls are cared for like family.
Located in Christchurch, a safe, friendly, and easy-to-navigate city that is the gateway to the South Island, international students at St Margaret’s enjoy rich cultural experiences and breathtaking outdoor adventures.
St Margaret’s has acted as a launchpad for international alumnae including mathematicians, physicists, sportswomen, musicians, writers, designers, and politicians-in-the-making. When your daughter leaves St Margaret’s she won’t just be ready for the world – she’ll be ready to lead it.
