Your first day
It is not long now until you arrive in Auckland. Thank you for choosing to come and study with us. We are all very much looking forward to welcoming you into our Global English World family. We are sure you will have an excellent time and learn a lot of very useful English.
We have an online test for you to take to assess your English level. After you have paid your school fees, we will send you a link to complete this online. Please complete the test before you arrive at school.
On your first morning at Global English World, please come to the school office before 8:30 am. You will meet our School Manager and our Student Services Team. They will look after you for the morning and take you through an orientation programme. This will include an introduction to our school and to Auckland. This is an excellent time for you to get to know the other new students who are starting.
