Welcome from Head of School, Jeremy Lewis

Here at ACS Egham we believe that every student should be encouraged and challenged to succeed. However whilst we have high standards for academic achievement, we believe that it is equally important to equip our students with the necessary skills to prepare them for the life challenges ahead, all of which can be directly attributed to the IB Learner profile - inquirers, thinkers, risk-takers, communicators... all skills for life.

As an IB World School, our curriculum is designed to support a student-centered approach, with a stimulating, and varied curriculum that encourages and instills a strong sense of self-esteem, personal integrity, and a respectful attitude towards others ensuring well-rounded, responsible and involved members of the community and the world at large.

ACS Egham is a truly international school with over 40 nationalities represented across the campus.  As Head of School, I am deeply committed to establishing a school culture that recognises and promotes international mindedness and excellence within and beyond the classroom. Over the next academic year, it is my intention to continue the good work done so far with the intent of improving on what we have and what we can offer.

I have lived and worked internationally for over 35 years and, along with many of my colleagues, fully understand the practical experience of being an expatriate family, which can often be daunting enough without the challenge of choosing the right school. Those of us involved in international education, are deeply committed to the ideal that the experience we offer to globally mobile families can really make a better future for our children.

We also have a couple of campus developments that have a large impact on our offerings here, with the additional of the IB Diploma Centre which opened at the start of this academic year, and the highly anticipated sports facility being built

Please do come and visit the campus, see us in person so that you can feel for yourselves what an energetic and dynamic environment we really have. With the welcome addition of a new IB Diploma Centre this academic year and the highly anticipated state-of-the-art sports facility due summer 2012, we have a lot to shout about. We are justifiably proud of our school and would welcome the opportunity to show you first hand exactly why that is.
