A personalised learning approach

Delivering excellence across education in accordance with the wellbeing of our pupils is our first priority at ACG Parnell, a concept which is reflected across all our classroom environments. The ongoing success of our students is founded in our emphasis on two core elements that we believe make us such an outstanding school.

Firstly, our focus on student-teacher interaction which is fundamental to all pupils making progress and achieving their full potential.

Secondly, our desire to maintain a personalised learning approach that treats every student as an individual and supports them pastorally and academically at all times.

Comprehensive academic education

The curriculum at ACG Parnell is designed to capture a vast, global range of ideas and knowledge, and pass this on to our students to discover, interpret and use in their future lives.

Our teachers are experts in their field and are dedicated to helping your child enjoy learning and make the most of every opportunity.

We expose students to an international pool of knowledge – mathematics, science, music, languages, physical education, technology, the arts and humanities and so much more.

Vibrant sporting community

We believe that physical exercise is an essential part of mental and psychological wellbeing. We offer our students the ability to participate in a wide range of individual and team sports at different competition levels.

The values students develop through participation and competition – commitment, teamwork, resilience, perseverance, respect, loyalty and integrity – reflect our school values and help set our pupils on the right path for life beyond the classroom.

New Zealand's top senior school

Year 12 and 13 students have the choice of two internationally recognised curriculums, Cambridge or International Baccalaureate (IB).
