Can anyone give us any input on studying in New Zealand?

We are planning on retiring to NZ but our youngest son is getting ready to start High School, 9th grade. We are considering sending him ahead to start HS where he will finish. Our son is 14, has been homeschooled, tests as gifted and tests well above grade level. Can anyone offer any advice, thoughts etc? Thank You!

1. Go for it! My wife and I have a similar plan on the horizon, but not to NZ. Your son should be fine, but would be finer still if mum and dad went at the same time. He might be a teenager and seem very independent, but he'd still like mum and dad close by (he'd never admit to it mind!) to provide support when he needs it.
