Nelson is a city and unitary authority in the South Island of New Zealand. It contains several city schools.

In New Zealand schools, students begin formal education in Year 1 at the age of five.{{cite web|url=http://www.teamup.co.nz/primary-int/about/school/default.htm |title=About School: School basics |publisher=New Zealand Ministry of Education |accessdate=2008-06-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080526224044/http://www.teamup.co.nz/primary-int/about/school/default.htm |archivedate=2008-05-26 }} Year 13 is the final year of secondary education.

State schools are those fully funded by the government and at which no fees for tuition of domestic students (i.e. New Zealand citizens and permanent residents, and Australian citizens) can be charged, although a donation is commonly requested.{{cite web|url=http://nzplc.massey.ac.nz/default.asp?page=docs/board/schoolfee.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060714010803/http://nzplc.massey.ac.nz/default.asp?page=docs%2Fboard%2Fschoolfee.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=14 July 2006 |title=School Donations & Fees |publisher=New Zealand Ministry of Education |date=23 June 1998 |accessdate=2006-06-23 }} A state integrated school is a former private school with a special character based on a religious or philosophical belief that has been integrated into the state system. State integrated schools charge "attendance dues" to cover the building and maintenance of school buildings, which are not owned by the government, but otherwise they like state schools cannot charge fees for tuition of domestic students but may request a donation. Private schools charge fees to its students for tuition, as do state and state integrated schools for tuition of international students.{{cite web|url=http://www.edusearch.co.nz/content/nzschoolsystem.php |title=about NZ education |publisher=EduSearch |accessdate=2008-06-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206071452/http://www.edusearch.co.nz/content/nzschoolsystem.php |archivedate=December 6, 2007 }}
