St Peter’s is one of New Zealand’s leading independent secondary schools, providing a first-class education for over 1,200 students, including co-educational boarding for 350 students from New Zealand and around the world.

We strive for excellence and have a reputation for high achievement in academics, performing arts and sports. We offer our own junior programme culminating in the St Peter’s Year 11 Diploma, preparing our students for either the International Baccalaureate or NCEA pathways from Year 12.
