St Peter’s School is an independent, Christian, fully
coeducational day and boarding school for 11-18 year old boys
and girls. St Peter’s provides a holistic environment where
students can fulfill our founder’s mission: ‘Body, Mind and
Spirit.’ Established in 1936, St Peter’s has evolved to become a
leading school in New Zealand.
The school is located in the heart of the Waikato dairying
and equine region close to the city of Hamilton and one and a
half hours drive from Auckland the biggest city in New
Zealand. The architecture and feel of the school reflects the
English origins of our Founder Arthur Broadhurst. The school
owned dairy farm is adjacent.
