ACS International Schools Hillingdon

At Acs Hillingdon, Creative Thinking Isn’t a One-Off, a Quick-Fix, or A Nice-To-Have. Together with Knowledge, It’s a Lifelong Advantage. That’s Why Creative Thinking Is at The Centre of Everything We Do. From mathematics to drama, science to music, we teach students to approach challenges with imagination, ingenuity, and inventiveness.

At Hillingdon, we teach students to apply creative ingenuity to every problem they encounter. They learn to form collaborative partnerships, spark new ideas together, and engage with others imaginatively.

That’s why we achieve outstanding academic results, year in, year out, with a near 100% pass rate across our diverse student body.We are delighted that the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) has awarded ACS Hillingdon 'Excellent' in all categories in our recent Educational Quality Inspection, conducted in February 2022. This is the highest possible ranking, and the ISI made many wonderful comments in their review.

ACS International Schools is a dynamic, people-focused charity that advances education. ACS International Schools became a registered UK charity in 2018. As a charity, ACS is committed to providing a range of means-tested bursary places and working locally and internationally in collaboration with schools and communities to share expertise and resources to enrich the education of our partner communities and ourselves.

Our 3 UK schools – ACS Cobham, ACS Egham, ACS Hillingdon - offer a wide-ranging curriculum to suit the needs of internationally-minded families. This includes all 4 IB programmes, a US-based curriculum, rigorous AP courses, the IB Careers programme an the AP Capstone and international Diplomas. All schools are co-ed and we educate students from 2 -18 and offer both day and boarding tuition. Our focus in each school is on finding the right curriculum ‘fit’ for the student ensuring every student is able to unlock their potential and be the best student they can be.

As a group of leading international schools, our dedication to student success is matched only by our professional desire to attract, retain and develop staff of the highest standard. Our renowned international programmes and outstanding facilities create an exceptional working environment, where the world comes to teach, learn, and grow as valued individuals. With a community made up of over 100 nationalities and many cultures, we are proud to call ourselves a genuine international school – a place where local and global people and possibilities come together.

New strategic thinking is carrying forward our heritage of more than fifty years, through which ACS has proudly held an ambitious course for growth. Our education, partnership and people strategies all reaffirm our commitment to students, their families, our staff, and the wider community to maintain and extend our strong position as a group of leading international schools.

Strategic planning strengthens our long-term commitment to deliver impactful public benefit. As a charity that exists to advance education, we want our schools to be the best they can be, now and well into the future. Our partnerships programme will grow our impact on the wider community. We also believe a successful plan must be flexible and dynamic. As we move ahead, we will continue to set ambitious goals, reflect on our progress, and adjust our course as needed.
