At Christ’s College, we get boys. We are New Zealand’s only independent school for boys from Years 9 to 13. We understand what makes boys tick. We enjoy their energy, humour, ideas, and zest for life. We celebrate boys and we teach in ways they learn best. We are committed to our mission – 'Each boy at his best' – as all aspire to reach their full potential.
"We have a clear vision at Christ’s College – to educate boys to be virtuous men who make a positive contribution to society."

Overseas opportunities – exchanging places at Christ's College
22 Jul 2026
Communication matters on a student exchange. Slang, jokes, and colloquial speech all bring fresh challenges in a new country. Not to mention navigating streets teeming with people, keeping your cool in the heavy heat, or finding your way in a challenging new world.
In Black & White is College's fortnightly newsletter. The newsletter is sent during the school term on a Wednesday afternoon.
