ACG Education

What ACG Education does

ACG Education (operating as ACG Schools) is a New Zealand-headquartered private education group operating five wholly-owned school campuses — ACG Parnell, ACG Strathallan and ACG Sunderland in the Auckland metropolitan area, ACG Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, and ACG School Jakarta in Indonesia — alongside an Early Learning division serving children aged three months to five years under a Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum. The group delivers a continuous educational pathway from Early Learning through Year 13 using the Cambridge International Curriculum, including IGCSE, AS-Level and A-Level qualifications, taught by subject-specialist teachers and supported by the myACG parent portal on the iSAMS platform. ACG Schools is positioned as New Zealand's largest independent provider of the Cambridge International pathway and is a core member of Inspired Education Group, a global premium schools network of more than 70 schools and over 50,000 students across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, with parent entity Inspired Education Holdings Limited registered in England.

ACG's revenue model is tuition-based and recurring, billed annually on a subscription cadence to families enrolling students directly through campus admissions, open days, online enquiry channels, and — for international students — a network of authorised education agents. The primary customer segments are domestic families seeking premium Cambridge-aligned private education and international students recruited from overseas markets, supported by dedicated visa, homestay, orientation and English-language services. Marketing is delivered through school websites, open days, social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), email, education agent partnerships, and earned media coverage of academic achievements. Academic outcomes are central to demand generation: the group secured 28% of all Cambridge Outstanding Learner Awards in New Zealand in 2025, a 99% A-Level pass rate, and 14 Top in the World awards, with 90% of ACG Strathallan students securing first-choice university placements. The group's operating geographies include New Zealand, Indonesia and Vietnam, and it is registered as a private limited company in New Zealand under Inspired Education Holdings Limited.
