St. Peter’s Diploma

 A New Era of Academic Excellence

The St. Peter’s Diploma demonstrates our dedication to a holistic education of mind, body, and spirit. By offering a programme that balances rigorous academic standards with personalised co-curricular learning opportunities, we ensure that our students are well-prepared for success.

The culmination of years of research and collaborative efforts across all faculty areas, the St. Peter’s Diploma offers aspirational teaching and learning programmes with greater flexibility in assessment. This initiative included a thorough review and refresh of the Year 7-11 curriculum, incorporating best practices from leading programmes both in New Zealand and internationally. By applying these insights, we have developed a bespoke programme that meets the highest standards of educational excellence, ensuring that each student's educational journey provides opportunities to develop individual strengths and interests.

A key feature of the St. Peter’s Diploma is its role in laying a strong and relevant foundation for our students' academic journeys. After completing Year 11, students have the opportunity to choose between the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) and the International Baccalaureate (IB). This choice empowers students to further customise their educational experience based on their passions and aspirations, providing them with the flexibility to pursue either academic pathway.

At St. Peter’s, we are committed to fostering an environment of excellence and innovation. The St. Peter’s Diploma represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide a visionary education that inspires and equips students to be leaders, thinkers, and change-makers in an ever-evolving world.
