One of New Zealand’s most prestigious co-educational schools, Kings Auckland was founded in 1896 on the principle of providing “the best all-round education it is possible to obtain”. Education may have evolved over the years, but the school’s holistic ethos and focus on an intellectually rich environment and academic rigour have remained constant. Alongside academics, where pupils perform exceptionally well in the NCEA and Cambridge International exams, the College encourages participation in arts, sports, and leadership initiatives, helping to develop well-rounded individuals. With day and boarding options, there is a strong emphasis on pastoral care and community spirit. The school’s facilities are world-class, including science labs, sports fields, and modern boarding houses. King’s alumni include notable leaders in politics, business, and the arts, cementing its reputation for nurturing future New Zealand leaders.
