ACS International Schools offer a comprehensive and robust academic
programme built upon the principles and standards of the American
education system, and the International Baccalaureate programme.
Our rigorous curriculum is designed to incorporate the best practices
established by these leading educational organizations, and inspire
our students to become successful life-long learners and responsible
global citizens.
Our curriculum is guided by the values and beliefs embedded in
the school’s Philosophy Statements. We provide Early Childhood,
Lower, Middle, and High School programmes that support preparation
for colleges and universities around the world. Students will
acquire skills in speaking, listening, literacy, and numeracy.
Specific offerings include:
- an American/international college preparatory High School
Diploma
- the Advanced Placement (ACS Cobham and ACS Hillingdon only).
- the IB Diploma Programme
- the IB Middle Years Programme (ACS Egham only)
- the IB Primary Years Programme (ACS Egham only)
The schools use a variety of means to meet the needs of all students
so that they have the best opportunity to learn and make progress.
This is achieved by:
- differentiating instruction
- benchmarking developmentally appropriate standards
- providing personal and academic counselling
- assessing individual student needs (e.g., Child Study Teams)
- providing specific programmes (e.g., English as an Additional
Language (EAL), Native Language
- Enrichment (NLE), advisory, student leadership, community
service, and health education).
The quality of our American and international programmes
has resulted in ACS students graduating into the most prestigious
universities around the world, including Harvard, Yale, Stanford,
Princeton, and MIT in the USA.
ACS is proud to be accredited by the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges, which accredits some of the most prestigious
colleges and schools both in the US, and around the world.
Our academic fit guarantees students make a smooth transition
in and out of our schools – from Pre-K through 12th Grade.
