Applications
Dilworth is a private school like no other. We accept promising boys from good families of limited means and offer them a fully-funded wrap around education.
The results? Our boys achieve NCEA qualifications at a level comparable with the highest decile New Zealand schools, and they also excel in sports, music, the arts and cultural performance.
Our scholarships
All Dilworth students are awarded a full boarding scholarship that includes tuition, books, uniforms, sports fees and music tuition. It is a significant scholarship, worth more than $35,000 per year.
Our criteria
What makes Dilworth different from most independent schools which offer boarding, is that our students are not selected based on academic or sporting achievement. Dilworth boys are selected based on family need and a boy’s suitability for our boarding environment.
