Welcome to our ‘home away from home’ where unity and cultural diversity are celebrated in equal measure.

The ACS Cobham Dormitory is an integral part of the school community, offering separate-wing accommodation for over 100 boys and girls aged between 12 and 18.

In our diverse but shrinking world society, the Dormitory provides a relaxed, friendly home for students from a wealth of cultures. We actively celebrate the cultural diversity of our student body, and promote internationalism as an intrinsic part of boarding life. We aim to make every student aware that they are important individuals, and encourage them to develop into mature and responsible global citizens. We also believe that the boarding experience should encourage positive involvement, with students engaged in a wide variety of extracurricular activities.

The Dormitory has six resident House Parents, ten live-in teacher supervisors who are each assigned a group of students to support, plus school counsellors, and a campus nurse. It is vital to recognise that, in conjunction with parents, the Dormitory, and its highly trained staff serve the needs of the whole student – academic, physical, personal, and emotional.

Many friendships made here will endure a lifetime, and all will widen a student’s understanding and appreciation of world cultures and customs. This is a special experience, and the more a student puts into the programme, the more he or she will gain from it.

The facilities

All student rooms are ergonomically designed for two, with en suite bathrooms, and individual study desks. Students also have use of the Internet, community lounges, games rooms, a boarders-only dining hall for breakfast and dinner, and two fully-equipped student kitchenettes. At lunch students use the purpose-built Food Court complex which serves up a healthy and nutritionally-balanced diet that fully embraces the multicultural diversity of our student body.
