About International College of Auckland

Mission Statement

International College of Auckland ( ICA ) provides quality education which enables students to optimize their potential and become internationally competitive in the market place.

Support, Development and Achievement

ICA offers a unique education environment that focuses on individual development and achievement. We believe that quality teaching, a supportive environment and multi-cultural experience provide a framework for the success of individuals. We recognize the potential of each student and the contribution they will continue to make to society at a local and global level. Our curriculum includes a variety of education programmes that will pathway students toward both local and international opportunities in business, employment and higher education.

At ICA, we inspire students to discover and apply their intellectual and creative potential and contribute responsibly to societies and cultures. Our students learn to reason, adapt, innovate, communicate and develop so they can respond to the rapid changes in the modern workforce and society.

ICA presents a wonderful opportunity for students to learn in a modern and stimulating environment. With the best interests of our students' futures in mind, we have been working closely with stakeholders and relevant organisations to create opportunities for students in each of our 5 school departments, including: ICA School of Horticulture, ICA School of Business, ICA School of Computer studies, ICA Early Childhood department and ICA School of Languages.
