Learning & Living in Lincoln

Our international team welcomes you to Lincoln High School/Te Kura Tuarua Waihora and the wonderful academic, cultural, artistic and sporting opportunities that await.

At Lincoln High School your child will discover their potential, learn values for life, and enjoy the many rich experiences life in New Zealand offers. Our school has over 20 years experience of catering for students from other countries wishing to further their education. We have a very good reputation of high academic achievement, and for providing excellent pastoral care for our students.  

Our students are encouraged to be respectful, reliable, supportive and resilient in all they do. Our highly trained and successful staff work alongside students to ensure everyone seeks to be the very best they can be.


Lincoln is located in the rapidly growing district of Selwyn and is situated 20 minutes from Christchurch International Airport, and walking distance from Lincoln University. Located on the east coast of the South Island, Lincoln is close to both the sea and the mountains, providing a wonderful playground for those who enjoy opportunities for recreation.  There is a good bus system and our students either walk, bike or bus to school. 

With a roll of over 1450 students, Lincoln High School has a culturally rich community. The Lincoln area is well known for its connections with scientific, agricultural and environmental innovation and development. International students are an important part of our school and we have a boutique international programme, allowing us to support the individual needs of our students. 

We warmly welcome students from around the world and offer a safe, caring and spacious learning environment with easy access to the attractions of a large city.
