A world class education
Kristin is a leading independent, Early Learning to Year 13 co-educational school with a roll of over 1800 students situated on Auckland’s North Shore.

As an IB World School, our International Programme at Kristin offers students superb facilities and courses for long-term placements through all age groups, and short-term placements by arrangement. We welcome students from all around the world, and have new students regularly joining the programme from countries throughout Europe, Asia and South America.
Student Wellbeing
At the heart of Kristin’s values is a belief that the best education does more than simply instil knowledge in the minds of students.It’s about nurturing their mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and social wellbeing, so that they can grow and reach their potential. Our School Deans and Wellness Team in collaboration with students, staff and parents play a key role in providing this support in a safe and positive environment. Kristin has two counsellors, a chaplain and an on-site nurse for our students.
