Your Year of Intermission

Class sizes are small so we can go deep and support each other on the journey. We spend a lot of time together – we hang-out, share meals, and go on retreats over the duration of the year.

Your fellow Intermission students make up a big part of the experience! As an Intermission student you are also a part of the wider Carey Baptist College community and will have opportunities to engage with other students and Carey staff. 

Intermission is based at the Carey Baptist College campus in Penrose, Auckland. Three days are spent on site, so you do have to live close enough to come in weekly.

Intermission can be a launch pad into future academic study as it provides you with an introduction to tertiary level tools of learning while developing skills in research, critical thinking, writing, and presentations.

You will do a range of Level 4 and Level 5 papers – some with just your fellow Intermission students while others are with the wider Carey community.  It’s a good mix!

 For those who never enjoyed school to those who are keen for degree-level study, our aim is to provide a successful learning experience for all, offering encouragement and challenge where needed.

Intermission provides you with a number of skills that you can take with you where ever you go next;         

• Learning to become independent with time management and organisational skills.
• In-depth personal reflection, including preferred models of learning, strengths finder, problem solving, and personality tools.
• Conflict resolution & group dynamics.
• Spiritual disciplines & pathways to God.
• Knowing how to approach and engage with a range of key social issues facing New Zealand & the World today.
• A robust theology through exploring God’s story, mission, and engagement with Te Ao Maori.
