Welcome to King's College! When Graham Bruce founded King's College in 1896, his stated aim was that the school would provide 'the best all-round education it is possible to obtain'. Over 100 years on, this statement still both guides and underpins all that we do. King's College aims to be the best it can be in every one of the College's programmes: academic, sporting, cultural, spiritual and social. We appreciate this is a lofty ambition, but it is one which has seen King's, throughout its history, preserve its enduring values whilst still being prepared to innovate, to ensure we remain at the forefront of education.

Founded in 1867, Wellington College is a progressive school for 21st-century boys (with a current roll of 1780) which values belonging and is connected to the past. We have a proud history of outstanding academic achievement and a record of national success in both sport and in the performing arts. The aspirations of Wellington College and its people are summarised through our COLL values. They provide a focus for our work as we serve others, develop leadership and care for each other as we learn together. The international student programme contributes to the diversity of our school community and generates additional funding for school projects and facilities on our beautiful, spacious city campus.

Often referred to as ‘The Grammar Way’, Auckland Grammar School sets its standards very high, demanding excellence across all aspects of daily life. While providing young men with a rigorous academic education, each young man in turn is expected to pursue excellence in acquiring knowledge and skills while embracing the School’s values. These values are core to upholding the School’s position of pre-eminence in boys’ secondary education. They are integrity, excellence, respect, courage, pride, commitment and humility. Through teaching and practising these values, we hope to develop in our students valuable personal qualities such as self-discipline, resourcefulness, adaptability, creativity, honesty, courtesy, self-reliance, healthy self-esteem, pride in personal appearance and public spirit, with the aim of using these virtues for the good of the School and the community.
