Dilworth is an independent (private) boys’ boarding school for young men, years 7-13, and offers a fully funded wraparound education. Students achieve exceptional NCEA results at a level comparable with the highest performing NZ schools and excel in sports, music, arts and cultural endeavours, and outdoor education. The school, which has an Anglican tradition, was founded by the legacy of benefactor James Dilworth in 1906 and has grown to be the largest boarding school in Australasia. The school is funded by an endowment which is administered by the Dilworth Trust Board, a significant owner of commercial and industrial property in New Zealand.

Dilworth School provides a safe and inclusive environment and has gone through an extensive period of change over the last four years. In 2022 the school was awarded Child Wise Accreditation, the only school in Aotearoa, New Zealand to have achieved this level of Child Safeguarding.
