Senior School Learning Journey

Our range of core and specialist subjects provides a wide range of choice to enable students to further explore their interests in Years 9 and 10, prior to fine-tuning their selection as they move through to Years 11, 12 and 13.

In Years 12-13, Chilton offers a dual pathway model where students, alongside their parents, can choose between NCEA and Cambridge International based on which educational offering best suits their learning needs and future aspirations.
