Bethlehem College, Tauranga
Set on a rural 46-hectare site ten minutes from Tauranga, Bethlehem College is a state integrated (private school with government funding) Christian coeducational school with over 2,000 students. A preschool, primary school, secondary school and teacher-training institute are all on the same campus.

Diary
I was impressed with how Bethlehem College supports international students in their studies and their lives. When they first arrive at the school, all international students take prep classes. These classes include all the subjects that students will take in mainstream classes. In these prep classes, teachers systematically introduce background knowledge and English terms and phrases for each subject. To check students' comprehension, students are asked to perform experiments, do presentations, finish projects and even follow recipes to make New Zealand food. The students' time in this program varies according to their English ability.

All international students live with homestay families. Bethlehem College works hard to ensure the quality of the homes by investigating and then interviewing each family before signing a contract with them. The coordinator also visits every family twice a year and talks to the homestay students regularly.

The international student office also helps international students and their parents with money management. After receiving money from the students' parents, the coordinator settles the tuition bill and gives the students pocket money weekly.
