The Sunderland Education Trust founded Sunderland in 2007 as "Sunderland School and College". It was the first private school in Waitakere City (west Auckland). In 2010, Academic Colleges Group (ACG) took over the management contract for Sunderland, changing the name to ACG Sunderland. The school occupies the building formerly used by the Waitakere City Council.[5]

Student body

ACG Sunderland provides education to boys and girls from Years 1 to 13,[6] as well as a preschool.[7] The student body is split into six houses, named after four founders of the school and two places in Auckland: Waitakere, Whenuapai, Tong, Fleming, Findlay, and McDonald.
