Learn English in New Zealand
Dominion English Schools Everyone
speaks English in New Zealand. Our English is pure and clear; it is an
international English easily understood anywhere in the world. New
Zealand is a small, quiet and green country, with only about 4 million
people in a country as large as Chile, Italy or Japan. New Zealand is
dominated by Nature, with magnificent beaches, lakes and mountains.
There are no snakes and very few predators in New Zealand. You can
become a new person in New Zealand. You can relax, breathe fresh air,
drink clean water, and meet friendly New Zealanders who enjoy helping
visitors to practise English. DOMINION ENGLISH SCHOOLS have an International reputation for high
academic standards, extensive activity programmes and a friendly “at
home” atmosphere. Dominion is a New Zealand owned company and is located Downtown in Auckland and Christchurch. Dominion never closes (except public holidays). Students can transfer between schools.
