ACS Cobham is part of the ACS International Schools group, 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 advancing education by 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.
ACS Cobham is home to 1,300 students aged 2 to 18 representing over 80 nationalities and taught by 300 expert teachers and staff members.
We believe in helping every child to discover their true potential, stand out, and achieve excellence in their own field.
That’s why we offer a range of globally recognised and academically challenging curricula, from the International Baccalaureate to the US Advanced Placement Programme. It’s why we invest heavily in world-class facilities like our swimming pool, sports centre, and state-of-the-art theatre. And it’s why we support children every step of their journey, with counsellors specialising in university applications to pastoral care.
Our students and staff come to us from every corner of the globe. The result is a wonderfully open-minded, outward-looking culture, with a genuine curiosity about the world. Internationalism is at the very heart of the ACS philosophy; we’re proud of our multicultural identity and commitment to diversity, tolerance and choice. At the heart of our approach is the idea of readiness – we empower our students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a world that is changing fast.
We know that learning is one of life’s greatest pleasures, so we design our programmes to inspire and instil a sense of wonder, blending the best academic programmes from around the world – including the renowned International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma – with inspiring activities and opportunities to learn outside the classroom. The welcome from our international community is warm and genuine and each new student is a valuable addition to our student body.
ACS Cobham offers students a world class range of facilities ensuring each student can indulge their favourite sport. The 130 acre grounds are also widely used both in the curriculum and for after school sports and activities.

Vision & Values
Our founders, Mr Poularis and Mr Speed, opened their first school in 1967 with a bold ambition to create a genuinely caring, engaged community with a strong sense of its role in the lives of the local and global families it served.
From those early beginnings, the core principles of community, positive change, excellence and internationalism continue to guide ACS today.
An ACS education has at its heart the idea of readiness: When they leave ACS, our students face the world as effective, confident and caring individuals who are ready to act, lead, care and change the world.
At the highest level, our purpose is to inspire the world’s next global thinkers and doers. As we look to the future, ACS remains as true to its international education roots now as ever.
