ACG Strathallan is an independent co-educational school located on the Hingaia Peninsula in Karaka, New Zealand, close to the Auckland Southern Motorway. It is part of the Academic Colleges Group whose New Zealand schools are members of Independent Schools of New Zealand (ISNZ).[2]

The campus opened in February 2001. Its facility provides education through the ACG Strathallan Preschool Centre (for children aged three months to five years), ACG Strathallan School for Years 1 to 6, and ACG Strathallan College for Years 7 to 13 offering the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
