ABOUT US
World Class Education was founded by Wendy Jochem and Robbie Pickford, who have each been immersed in International Education for more than 20 years, both having worked in a number of education institutions around New Zealand and acting on numerous international education focussed boards and committees.
As such, Wendy and Robbie have an intimate knowledge of New Zealand schools and are passionate about international students and their education.
Jaco Broodryk joined WCE in 2026 after retiring as principal of Whakarongo School.
With so much experience between them, the same ethical way of working, and connections with wonderful people and schools around the world, it was a natural decision.
We strongly believe in the quality of education in New Zealand and the experience living and studying overseas offers to young people. Our services are focused on helping students find the educational institution that best fits their needs and supporting them to ensure they meet their academic goals and have an unforgettable experience in New Zealand.
