Welcome to ICL Education Group!
We believe in success. Whether you are studying Business, Computing, Early Childhood Education or English, we are committed to your success. Our students pass; our students get jobs; our students progress to higher education; and very importantly, our students enjoy their time at ICL Graduate Business School, Auckland English Academy, Bridge International College and New Horizon College!
Education changes as fast as the world does, and when you select your study destination it is important to find innovation as well as a tradition of quality. In New Zealand you will find both: an excellent, British-based academic heritage, with universities over 100 years old, and a dynamic, modern education system constantly adapting to the changes and growth in our multi-cultral society. And at ICL, within this traditional yet dynamic environment, we offer the perfect combination of private sector service standards, and the academic guarantee of qualifications owned or approved by New Zealand Government.
Our missions include helping you “develop learner autonomy”; at ICL, you take ownership of your education. Your teachers guide you, with enthusiasm and professional skills. in the direction of your leaning objectives, but you must do the work, both in class and through self-study. Think of your teacher as the conductor and your class as the orchestra. The conductor directs you, but you and your classmates make the music!
