The Academic Dean's office assists with academic and university issues, and works with prospective, current and former students. Families often contact us before applying, to discuss academic programs and university placement. We also maintain contact with many former students after they transfer or are graduated.

The main part of our work involves current students: scheduling courses, monitoring academic progress, providing feedback and processing quarterly report cards. ACS Cobham is fortunate in having an excellent honors level college preparatory program for all students, plus the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Advanced Placement (AP) programs. The attractions of this flexibility are clear. Around 40-50 per cent of our students opt for the full IB Diploma while another 30 per cent choose strong mixed AP and/or IB programs. Our external examination results are consistently outstanding.

We also take students through a number of activities and programs related to career and college planning, including guidance on external examinations. Students receive individualised college guidance and our college placement record is truly impressive. Our graduates have attended all the top universities in all the countries in which they have chosen to study. The list includes Harvard and Stanford, McGill and Queen's, Oxford and Cambridge, Edinburgh and St Andrews, Delft and Erasmus, Tokyo and Waseda, Uppsala and the Stockholm School of Economics – and so the list continues. It also includes specialised institutions such as those in art, business, drama, and music, reflecting the multitude of talents and interests among our students.

Our goal is to help all of our students work towards meeting their full potential, both here and in planning for the future. We welcome personal contact, so please come to see us, or contact us by e-mail, phone or fax.
