Learn English in Christchurch

Christchurch is famous for its natural beauty and a wealth of things to do. The city has a lively entertainment scene, strong cultural heritage, gorgeous parks and gardens, lots of sports facilities and good shopping. Among the 'must sees' are the weekend Arts Centre market, Christchurch Cathedral, the Botanic Gardens and the International Antarctic Centre.
Away from the city there is much to see within a short distance.

To the east lie the open ocean and Banks Peninsula, featuring sheltered bays, sandy beaches, and rugged coastline, ideal for boating. To the west, past forests and lakes lie the highest mountains in Australasia, the Southern Alps, offering perfect skiing conditions in the winter. A journey north reveals green rolling hills, forests and long, empty beaches, with the whale-watching centre of Kaikoura about 2 hours' drive away.

NEW ZEALAND: New Zealand, the first country in the world to see the sun rise each day, is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, 1600km east of Australia. Although it’s a small country, populated by only 3.5 million people, NZ has a large variety of activities on offer and places to visit. From extreme sports such as bungy jumping and jet boating to bush walks and art galleries (all of which are within a short distance of each other), there is something for everyone. Regional highlights include: the beautiful beaches in the north of the North Island, geothermal wonders in the central North Island, and beautiful treks throughout the South Island, as well as great skiing and snowboarding on both the North and South Islands. The temperate climate is ideal for all sorts of activities — trekking, sailing, and surfing to name just a few!
