Can junior high school students study in New Zealand?

Can junior high school students study in New Zealand? This is certainly possible, and it is a very beneficial investment in education. First of all, New Zealand, as an English-speaking country, if you go to New Zealand in junior high school, the cultivation of students' language ability will definitely be unmatched by the highest English test scores in China. Second, studying abroad can greatly exercise children's ability to live independently, so there is no need to worry about not adapting to further study in the future.

The secondary education system in New Zealand is slightly different from that in China. Primary education in New Zealand is eight years (5- 12 years old). After graduating from primary school, it enters middle school, which is also divided into two stages: junior high school and senior high school. After entering middle school, the system arrangement is different. Middle schools in most parts of China generally implement a six-year system: three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school. The middle school in New Zealand is a five-year system, with two junior high schools and three senior high schools, with different names. Junior high schools in New Zealand are called Grade 9, 10, and senior high schools are called 1 1, 12, 13 respectively.

New Zealand middle schools can accept students who have graduated from grade three in China to go to New Zealand to attend middle schools, which is different from the saying that students who have finished junior high school in China enter high schools. To go to New Zealand, they need to complete grade 1 1 under the New Zealand secondary education system, and then go to grade 12 and 13 in New Zealand high schools.

You can go to New Zealand to study 12 and 13 after completing the domestic senior one course. After completing the domestic senior two courses, you can choose to study the New Zealand University Foundation course or continue to study the New Zealand senior high school course, just like the New Zealand graduates of 12 grade. However, overseas experts advise students to start their studies from grade 12.
