ACG Parnell College (age 13 - 18) Parnell

Locations

ACG Parnell College offers an international curriculum and a positive environment for Years 1-13. ACG Parnell College is the only independent co-educational Year 1-13 school in the central isthmus area and is a carefully designed addition to the private education opportunities offered by Academic Colleges Group in central Auckland, New Zealand.

ACG Parnell College incorporates the former ACG Junior College and offers high interest academic programmes with a clear and distinct emphasis on scholarship and personal excellence. This focus on teaching and learning is an integral part of our ACG Parnell Vision. We aspire to be an exceptional learning community. We look to nurturing significant positive student attitudes of commitment to wholehearted learning and a willingness to go the extra mile.

These twin attributes of learning and positive attitudes are complemented by a set of agreed values which we believe will produce educated, willing, world-class citizens.

ACG Parnell College has attracted dedicated specialist staff who, in a nurturing environment, provide a balance of competitive and cooperative opportunities where each student is encouraged to develop in the essential skills, knowledge and attitudes.

At the end of each year ACG Parnell College also runs a number of camps for students in Years 9 to 13. The Year 9 and 10 camps are based on the Coromandel Peninsula. The Years 11 to 13 camp alternates between the Central Plateau and a coast-to-coast trek across the South Island.
