ACS Hillingdon International School

ACS International Schools based in London, England were founded in 1967 to serve both international and local communities.The schools are non-sectarian and co-educational, promote high standards of scholarship and challenge all members of the community to fulfill their potential.

In 1978 ACS opened the Hillingdon campus with an intake of 50 students.Two years later our first
graduating class of only four Seniors stepped up to collect their Diplomas.Today,ACS Hillingdon
honours the 47 members of its 2009 graduating class. Our Seniors are graduating from a school that
now has over 600 students from over 35 countries, from Pre-Kindergarten to 13th Grade.

Although we have grown considerably over the past 30 years,ACS Hillingdon remains committed to the
key principles of international education: continuous assessment and keeping options open for students as long as possible. It is the goal of our school to open the door to lifelong learning and to nurture friendships and international understanding amongst the entire community.

Today we celebrate the commencement of our 29th graduating class.We are proud of our Seniors as students, and as people.We wish them well as they step into the future and look forward to welcoming them back as Alumni.
