Boarding house philosophy

ACS strives to meet the needs of each boarder by:

  • encouraging students to understand and appreciate that "Our true nationality is mankind" (H.G. Wells)
  • encouraging students to accept the personal responsibility that comes with personal freedom
  • helping each student to realise his or her full worth and potential by maintaining
    high expectations
  • communicating with parents in order to encourage their support and involvement
  • maintaining and encouraging highly qualified and experienced support staff, prepared to meet the needs of the students.

Every ACS boarder embarks on an amazing voyage of discovery. Many friendships made here will endure a lifetime - all will widen a student's understanding and appreciation of world cultures and customs. This is a special experience, and the more a student puts into the programme, the more he or she will gain from it.

We take great pride in who we are and what we do, and look forward to welcoming you into our community in the near future.
