ACS International Schools
The
ACS International Schools, formerly known as the
American Community Schools, are three academic campuses based in Southern
England. The campuses are in
Cobham,
Egham and the
London Borough of Hillingdon.
ACS International Schools have supported the
International Baccalaureate educational examinations since
1981. All three campuses offer the
IB Diploma Programme. However, only ACS Egham International teaches the
Primary Years and
Middle Years programmes. Children can either live at the school or with their families. The total enrollment is around 2,300 students, ages two-and-a-half to eighteen.
In 2004, ACS Cobham reported profits of £1.7 million post-tax. The tuition fees at ACS Cobham per semester for grades 11-13 is £8,250. This makes the school not only one of the most expensive in the area, but also the country.
ACS International is accredited by the
New England Association of Schools.
The American
film actor Aaron Eckhart is a former student of the
Cobham campus.
