Explore Raphael House and New Zealand as an exchange student
German is the international language option at Raphael House, and we have a number of partner schools in Germany and Austria.
Our current partner schools are:
In Germany:
- Freie Waldorfschule St. Georgen, Freiburg

- Emil Molt Schule, Berlin
- Waldorfschule Kleinmachnow

If you’re a student at one of our partner schools and aged 16 or younger, you could experience life and learning in beautiful New Zealand as a Raphael House exchange student!
To apply, email Irja Haefliger, our International Coordinator, at international@raphaelhouse.school.nz. In your message, please include a short personal profile (in English) telling us about your family background, hobbies and interests, where you live, and most importantly—why you’d love to be part of the Raphael House exchange program!
If we find a suitable exchange partner for you, you’ll be invited to formally apply for the program. Once your application is received, it will be reviewed, and we’ll be in touch with your school to confirm the details.
As an exchange student, you’ll enjoy the same level of care and support as our international fee-paying students — but you will not be required to pay any school fees.
