Family English Course

Mothers, Fathers, Grandparents, Children and Grandchildren...
Your family can stay and study in New Zealand together!

Those who wish to educate their children in New Zealand, or who wish to experience New Zealand life as a family, can now stay and study together with Evakona. Your family can enjoy various fun activities together, and the children can participate in sports and games at the local school. Course Duration: 1 week or longer What is the Family Course? The mother, father or even both parents (or grand parents) study English at Evakona, while the child(ren) join the local school and study with local kids (if they are 5 - 13 years old). For the younger children (under 5 years old), Evakona arranges excellent child care (e.g. Child Care Centre, Play Centre & Baby Sitters). Why is it so great? This program is not only about studying English, but also an opportunity to observe different ways of raising and educating children, and to experience a different culture through homestay and other experiences.

	How does it work? Parent(s) Part time: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm or Full time: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm and 3 Afternoons/week 1pm-3pm Children, 5 - 13 years old - NZ Primary School Mon-Fri 8:45am-3pm Schools that Child(ren) can attend in this course: Mercury Bay Area School (in Whitianga) Thames South School (in Thames) Children, under 5 years old - Child Care Centre or Baby Sitter Morning Care: Mon-Fri 8:30am-12:30pm or Full time Care: Mon-Thu 8:30am-3:30pm, Fri 8:30am - 12:30pm

	Where to stay? Homestay: Parent(s) and child(ren) can stay together with a local host family. Experience the secret of raising good "Kiwi Kids"! Children learn how to communicate in English through play with host brothers and sisters. Three meals per day included. Motel Unit: Rent a spacious motel unit and enjoy the freedom and independence you are used to from home. No meals included, but these tidy units have a fully equipped kitchen. House/Apartment: It is even possible to rent a complete house with garden for your own use. Fully furnished and ready for you to move in. Have BBQs with the neighbours or let your kids play with the kids next door in their garden! Another great way to experience real New Zealand life style while keeping your independence.

Combination: It is also very popular to stay with a host family for the first few weeks, and then move into your "own" place. This course is not just for mothers. In recent years, fathers, grandparents and entire families are increasingly enrolling in this extraordinary program. We welcome the whole family!
