Saint Kentigern College is a private co-educational Presbyterian secondary school in Auckland, New Zealand. It is operated by the Saint Kentigern Trust Board.[2]

Established in 1953, the college is semi-coeducational with a single-gender Middle College for years 7 and 8, years 9 and 10 single-gender in core subjects, and a co-educational Senior College for years 11–13.[2]

In 2003, the college introduced girls into the school for the first time with 140 female students; these were known as the foundation girls. There are now over 900 female students attending, with numbers increasing every year.[3]

Saint Kentigern College is an IB World School offering the IB Diploma Programme for Year 12 and 13 students. The Saint Kentigern Trust Board approved the decision in late 2006. The course was first offered to Year 12 students in 2009.
