The schools offering French-English bilingual education are publicly funded and as such, are free for children with a NZ passport or permanent resident visa or if at least one of the parent is entering on a work or student visa.  Note that some schools ask for a small annual administrative donation

(see cost comparison table below). 

​

However, the French learning resources needed to provide a quality bilingual education are not covered by the Ministry of Education as French is not an official language of New Zealand. This is where Frenz comes in! We provide each school with all their French learning resources and maintain well stocked libraries onsite.

​

All families with children participating in the bilingual programmes are required to become Frenz members to access our French resources and are encouraged to make yearly donations directly to Frenz. 

Members of the public and businesses wanting to support our programmes are also welcome to become Frenz members or make donations.

​

thANK YOU!! 

Without your donations, bilingual education would not be possible in New Zealand. ​
