Students moving to Christchurch to train with our Atelier programme have the option of our onsite independent living or a choice of private homestays. Students can also attend academic schools in Christchurch that offer onsite boarding accomodation alongside training with us. AGA is based in the central city so is very close to a variety of top academic schools. We are happy to discuss accomodation options with you at your time of audition.
