Acudeo College Kirkney is based in Pretoria. ACUDEO College originated in 2013, motivated by the successful implementation of two graduate academy programmes by Barnstone Corporate Services, the availability of land zoned for education institutions in newly developed towns and suburbs and a funding relationship with SEIIFSA (Schools and Education Investment Impact Fund of South Africa).

It is on this solid foundation that Barnstone Education and SEIIFSA set about the establishment of quality modern education institutions in those areas that traditionally were not exposed to quality private education.
