ACG Schools is proud to celebrate another exceptional year of Cambridge achievement, securing 40 of the 143 Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards presented nationwide. Representing 28% of all awards in New Zealand - up from 24% in 2024 - these results reflect the strength of our academic model and the collective achievement of our students and teachers across our four colleges.

Across ACG Parnell, ACG Strathallan, ACG Sunderland and ACG Tauranga, our students delivered outstanding outcomes. At A Level, we achieved a 99% average pass rate, with 79% of grades at C or above and 36% awarded at A–A*. These results place ACG Schools among the strongest Cambridge providers in the country and reinforce our position as New Zealand’s largest independent provider of the Cambridge International pathway.

At ACG Schools, we offer a seamless educational journey from early learning and primary through to Year 13. Our subject-specialist teachers, personalised learning approach and integrated Cambridge pathway work together to build deep subject mastery, exam confidence and strong academic progression - enabling our students to excel at both national and global levels.

The 2025 Cambridge results highlight exceptional performance across all ACG Schools, with our students earning prestigious Top in the World and Top in New Zealand honours across a broad range of disciplines, including Mathematics, Computer Science, Economics, Art and Design, Psychology, Sociology, Languages, Design and Technology, Marine Science and Digital Media.

This year, ACG Schools achieved:

• 14 Top in the World awards

Pathways to the World’s Leading Universities

Our students’ academic achievements continue to open doors to the world’s most prestigious universities. ACG graduates consistently secure places at leading institutions including Oxford and Cambridge in the United Kingdom, the University of Melbourne and UNSW in Australia, and the University of Auckland.
