ACS Egham International School

The school is committed to an enquiry-led approach to teaching and learning, designed to foster intellectual curiosity, independence, and creativity. It promotes a holistic, international mindset, emphasizing community service and social awareness. The educational philosophy prioritizes assessment for learning to enhance individual performance, ensuring that students are prepared to contribute meaningfully to a rapidly changing world.

ACS Egham offers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, comprising the Primary Years Programme (IBPYP), Middle Years Programme (IBMYP), Diploma Programme (IBDP), and Career-related Programme (IBCP). In the Upper School, students may also pursue the US High School Diploma. The curriculum is supported by digital learning tools, including a 1:1 iPad programme for younger students and a laptop-based environment for older students.

Graduates from ACS Egham consistently progress to leading universities across the UK, the US, Canada, Europe, and beyond, including institutions such as Oxford, UCL, Boston University, and Bocconi. The school’s university and college counselling team provides expert guidance throughout the application process, ensuring students are prepared for their chosen academic pathways.

The school provides inclusive support for students with varying needs. Services for students with mild Special Educational Needs (SEN) are included in the standard tuition fees. For students requiring moderate SEN support, a dedicated programme is available for an additional fee, which includes the coordination of services, ongoing learning support, and required educational testing.

ACS Egham operates a rolling admissions policy, allowing families to apply at any time throughout the year. The admissions process is supported by a dedicated team that provides guidance from initial enquiry through to enrolment, including assistance for families relocating internationally. Prospective families are encouraged to book a private tour, attend an Open Day, or arrange a virtual meeting to learn more about the school.

The academic year is divided into two semesters, typically running from late August to June. The calendar includes scheduled breaks for Autumn, Winter, February, and Spring, alongside designated days for Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences and teacher professional development. Graduation ceremonies are held in late May.

Situated on a 36-acre campus, the school features state-of-the-art facilities including a science wing with modern labs, a 700-square-foot Art and Design Technology suite, and a Performing Arts Centre with professional lighting and sound systems. The Woodlee Sports Centre houses two FIBA-sized basketball courts, a fitness suite, a dance studio, and indoor/outdoor climbing walls. The campus also includes dedicated libraries, a Lower School Maker Space, and extensive outdoor learning areas such as a Forest School, playgrounds, and an amphitheatre.

The school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities designed to foster social skills, creativity, and community engagement. Students participate in sports, theatre, music, global trips, and service projects. These activities extend learning beyond the classroom and are often student-led, allowing learners to take ownership of their interests and contribute to the school community.
