Family English Course
Your Family Can
Live
and Study
English in
New
Zealand Together
Those parents who wish to educate their children in New Zealand (but don’t want to send them away) can now join them. Come to New Zealand, live and study English all together at Evakona. You can share this valuable experience and new way of life together as a family. Make your family relationships stronger and see your children develop as they learn English.
The mother, father, both parents or maybe even the grandparents can study English at Evakona, while the child(ren) join the local school and study with local kids (if they are five – thirteen years old).
For the younger children (under five years old), Evakona arranges excellent child care (e.g. Child Care Centre, Play Centre and babysitters).
This program is not only about studying English, but also an opportunity to observe different ways of raising and educating children, and to experience a different culture through homestay and other experiences.
Please note that this course is not just for mothers. In recent years, fathers, grandparents and entire families have enrolled in this extraordinary program. We welcome the whole family!
