INTRODUCTION
THIS IS STS
Each programme offered by STS encourages students to
broaden their global perspective and seeks to strengthen
their understanding of new cultures. Through developing
language, social and technical skills, we can help open the
door to an exchange of ideas, values and beliefs. Founded
in an era in which young people had limited opportunities
to travel and learn through experience, STS has since
helped thousands of students explore the world through
our educational programmes.
Ensuring customer and partner satisfaction with their
STS experience requires dedication to providing high
quality service. We continuously develop our courses
and products to remain at the forefront of international
education in a constantly changing world. Over the years,
STS has built up a strong reputation based on a long-term
focus, experience, a knowledgeable workforce and highly-
trusted programmes. These factors are the foundation for
our long-lasting partnerships with partners all over the
world.
Within this Partner Manual, you will find information
regarding programme contents, application requirements,
application processes and more. This will give you an
overview of the general information you require as one of
our High School partner agencies.
Although we have tried to include as much information as
possible, specific questions can always arise. If so, please
do not hesitate to contact our dedicated Partner Relations
team at partner.sales@sts-education.com and we will be
happy to assist you.
“Our mission is to empower
young people to grow
through education and
cultural exchange.”

EDUCATION
New Zealand state secondary schools are usually known as secondary schools, high schools or colleges. The timetable
is arranged around subjects, and although students continue to experience a broad and balanced curriculum, some
specialisation is possible, especially in Years 11 to 13. Secondary students may begin courses of a more vocational nature
while at school but there is no direct separation of programmes into academic and vocational streams. Students are also
provided with professional career information and guidance.
