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.
