Secondary education in New Zealand caters to students from Year 9 to Year 13 (aged 13 to 18 years old). The curriculum covers core subjects such as English Math and Science, and a wide range of specialist subjects including Technology, ESOL, Art and Outdoor Education.  Many schools have adopted a cross-curricular approach to learning, especially in the junior classes.

NCEA (National Certificate in Educational Achievement) is the main secondary school qualification in New Zealand and is usually offered during year 11-13.  Some schools offer Cambridge (CIE) or International Baccalaureate (IB) pathways. Students can also study towards vocational (work) qualifications.
