HIGH PERFORMANCE CULTURE IN A WHOLE EDUCATION
The Association of Boys' Schools in New Zealand promotes the knowledge, professional development, and collective action necessary to cultivate optimal learning environments and experiences. In partnership with CIRCLE and NZCER we continue to disseminate research for professional growth and school improvement. 

These research initiatives have been led by some of the most highly regarded professionals in the field of educating boys, and we give particular thanks to Dr. Michael Johnston at Victoria University, Wellington, for his ongoing Achievement in Boys' Schools Reports.

Research Reports
To date, the ABSNZ has four research reports on education in boys' schools. Each of these can be accessed via the menu on the left.
