Education Pathway
Combining Football Excellence with Academic Success
At the Wellington Phoenix Academy, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel both on the field and in the classroom. Our Education Pathway ensures that our players receive top-tier education while pursuing their football dreams.
The Education Pathway at Wellington Phoenix Academy Includes:
CHARTER School
In 2025, Wellington Phoenix will be launching a new Charter School.
Wellington Phoenix Academy Charter School’s (WPACS) vision is to establish a world-class, sports-integrated secondary school combining academic excellence and elite athletic training.
In partnership with Manawaroa Education and Wellington Phoenix, WPACS aim to offer a unique educational programme that leverages the strengths and expertise of both institutions.
Wellington Phoenix is currently seeking approval for the Charter School with the Ministry of Education.
In the interim, Mt Hobson Academy/Wellington Phoenix School will run as a private academy at NZCIS for term one and two with the aim for the Charter School to take over in Term three and four.
