New data shows the cost of private school isn't a deterrent to Kiwi parents.
A report by the Ministry of Education shows that private, or independent, schools are growing at a much faster rate overall than their public school counterparts.
Independent Schools of New Zealand CEO Guy Pascoe says there's a wide range of reasons why parents could be making this choice.
"Small class sizes, it could be specific curriculum, pedagogies, high academic results - the schools we represent range in size from about 15 students as our smaller school to about two and a half thousand."
