King's College Meets All Private School Registration Criteria
ERO's most recent 2025 review confirms that King's College meets all criteria for registration as a private school under New Zealand law. The review scope for private schools is more limited than for state schools, focusing on registration compliance rather than broader educational quality. Boarding is a central feature of school life, with over 300 students living on campus across five hostels, and strong pastoral care systems are in place.
