Our students come from many countries, and we strive to make
each feel part of the ACS Cobham community through an active participation
in school life.
Success during the four years of High School is vital to the
future goals and ambitions of all of our students and their families.
Our curriculum is based on honours level academic courses plus
a range of electives leading to either an American High School
College Preparatory Diploma, including a wide selection of Advanced
Placement (AP) courses, or the International Baccalaureate (IB)
Diploma.
Virtually all students take at least one IB or AP course at
some point in their High School career, which is notable as ACS
Cobham accepts students with a broad range of academic preparation
and abilities.
Students with such varying backgrounds and interests nevertheless
have much in common, most notably the motivation to work cooperatively
with the faculty and each other in realising their full potential
while here, and in preparing for higher education afterwards.
We strive to help all our students identify and attend the university
which best matches and supports their individual goals. This aim
is supported by a dedicated team of university counsellors, and
through career days, visits by university admissions directors
to our campus, week-long college tours abroad, and contacts with
many institutions of higher education.
Beyond academics, all our students are encouraged to participate
in the numerous extracurricular activities on offer, including
participation in charitable endeavours and community service projects.
Whether it is playing a Varsity sport, or acting in a play, there
is no shortage of opportunities to channel a student’s creative
energy.
Working on the principle of genuine mutual respect, the administration
and faculty strive to bring out the best in each student, encouraging
all to achieve their full potential and to realise the many benefits
of attending an international school.
