An IB centre of excellence
Situated on a 20-acre campus approximately 25 miles from central
London, ACS Egham enrols around 600 students between the ages of
2 and 18, Early Childhood through High School. The
school has purpose-built computer labs, libraries, spacious
classrooms, playgrounds and sports fields, and a new 21st
century Visual Arts & Design Technology
Centre, and state-of-the-art Science
Wing.
ACS Egham is one of only a handful of schools in the UK fully
authorised to offer all three International Baccalaureate
(IB) programmes:
- IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP) for children 3-11
- IB Middle Years Programme (IBMYP) for ages 11-16
- IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) for ages 16-18.
The IB Programme is globally recognised and
accepted for continuing education in American and international
schools, and at universities worldwide.
For the start of the 2011-12 academic year, ACS Egham will have
a brand new IB Diploma Centre, which will provide
the following facilities:
- Study Space/classroom for individual and collaborative study
designed to impact positively on student performance
- Additional small classroom spaces for meetings, presentations,
native language tutoring or small group activities
- Office space for the IB Diploma Co-ordinator, Secretary and the
University Counsellor who will all be housed in the new centre
facilitating improved support and collaboration for all Grade 11/12
students
- University Counselling suite including a space for visiting
University Admissions
Representatives
- A lounge/break out area where IB Diploma students can
relax
- Dedicated computer and presentation equipment
- Kitchen and refreshment facilities
ACS Egham is delighted with this development which provides our
Grade 11-12 students with the space and resources they require as
they complete their final years of High School study and prepare to
transition as independent learners to the world of further
education.
Small class sizes encourage individual
attention, and support for various learning styles, so students are
inspired and challenged accordingly. If required, Child Study Teams
convene individual student's teachers, administrators and parents,
to ensure that the child is appropriately supported.
A Language Coordinator assists families in
organising native language lessons after-school or, if possible,
during the school day. The High School operates an electronic
data storage device programme, supported by the latest education
software, which is fully integrated into the curriculum. Each
student receives an electronic data storage device, which operates
on the wireless network at the campus.
