Figure 1.--Some private schools are colleges. To Americans this means small universities, but in much of the rest of the world it is a secondary school or a school providing a full term primary-secondary education. Not all full-term schools are called colleges, but many are. Notice the rugby-style shirts. |
Some private schools are colleges. To Americans this means small universities, but in much of the rest of the world it is a secondary school or a school providing a full term primary-secondary education. Not all full-term schools are called colleges, but many are. You can not always go by the actual name of the schools. Some colleges in New Zealand are schools that were once private and have since been integrated into the state system and not all private colleges offer full term progeams. Many of the colleges that do offer full-term programs, have separate campuses for the younger children which is t=run like a preparatory school. This varies from school to school. Separate campuses mean that the advatage of sharing facilities is lost. Most private schools are either primary/preparatory schools or secondary schools, but there are a few full-term schools as well. Normally the students at these schools, both the primary and secondary students, wear essentially the same uniform.
