Te Kura/The Correspondence School is New Zealand’s largest school, with more than 24,000 students a year studying full or part-time, and staff based around the country.

We provide personalised learning programmes for students from early childhood to Year 13, as well as for adult learners and those with special education needs. Our students live in every part of the country and overseas and come from all walks of life.

No matter what the circumstances, we can help you learn with a programme that’s based on your individual interests, needs, and goals.

We work closely with local communities, schools and agencies that support our students, because we know that by working together we can do more to help our students achieve their potential.

We offer a wide range of learning programmes from early childhood level to Year 13. You can study full-time or part-time, depending on your circumstances.

You may also be able to enrol as a dual student if you meet the Ministry of Education’s eligibility criteria for dual enrolment. Dual students must be enrolled by the host school.

Years 1 to 6

Learning advisors of students in years 1 to 6 work closely with parents and supervisors to develop an individualised programme for each student based on the eight learning areas in the New Zealand curriculum.

Years 7 to 10/Te Ara Hou

Students enrolled in Te Ara Hou (meaning “new pathway”) will have a personalised learning programme based on their individual needs, interests and goals. Te Ara Hou offers an integrated programme of work which combines skills and knowledge from two or more subjects as well as more traditional subject-based learning. Your learning advisor will make sure all the curriculum areas are covered and that you are ready for qualifications level courses in year 11.

Years 11 to 13

You can choose from a wide range of subjects to earn credits towards NCEA as well as the National Certificate in Mathematics and National Certificate in Computing.


Depending on what you’re studying with us, we provide online support and teaching materials such as booklets, workbooks, readers, audio resources, CDs and DVDs, an MP3 recorder, interactive CD-ROMs, textbooks, mathematics and science boxes, art packs, and craft materials for technology.

If you're a full-time, fee-paying or young adult student, we'll work with you to develop a programme of learning that meets your needs. As a full-time or fee-paying student, you'll have a learning advisor (similar to a form teacher or class teacher) who will be your main point of contact at school.

Learning at a distance doesn’t have to mean learning alone. Our learning advisors and teachers are in regular contact with students and their families to offer advice and support not just for students, but also for those, usually family members, who supervise their learning. There are also opportunities for face-to-face contact at regional camps, events, and achievement days.
