Welcome to ACS Cobham
Situated on a stunning 128-acre campus in the heart of Surrey, ACS Cobham is a top international school in the UK. A vibrant, inclusive international day and boarding school, we educates students aged 2 to 18 from over 70 nationalities.
Our school is part of the ACS International Schools group and is known for its warm community, outstanding teaching, and a commitment to developing global citizens who are ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
As a leading independent school in Surrey, our education journey begins in the Early Childhood years, where play-based learning sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and nurtures a love of discovery. Our students learn within our dedicated Lower School Village—a vibrant and welcoming space designed to make learning both joyful and purposeful. Here, children develop strong foundational skills across core subjects including literacy, numeracy, and science, while also exploring creativity, collaboration, and independent thinking.
Our Senior School education also takes place on our private Surrey campus. Continuing on from Lower School, students undertake interdisciplinary study, and focus on the development of independent thinking. With the support of expert teachers and dedicated university counsellors, students engage in rigorous, meaningful study that reflects their passions and ambitions. Alongside academics, they take part in service learning, leadership opportunities, and co-curricular activities that develop character, resilience, and global awareness.
We are a private boarding school, offering 5 day or 7 day boarding places for students aged 13-18, providing a safe, supportive, and enriching boarding experience. Our world-class boarding facilities create a welcoming environment where students can thrive—academically, socially, and personally. With a dedicated team of 27 residential staff, pastoral care and student wellbeing is always a priority.
A Broad and Balanced Curriculum
Our broad and challenging IB and AP curriculum pathways invite students to excel and thrive, ensuring they are ready for university and beyond.
Our Lower School students follow an enquiry-based learning approach, covering core studies that include maths, literacy and science. Our Senior school students are given the opportunity to choose a pathway that suits their individual learning style, with the US High School Diploma, Advanced Placement (AP) and IB Diploma (IBDP) on offer. 60% of our Senior School students go to UK universities, 35% go to US universities and 15% study across the rest of the world.
A State-of-The-Art Campus
Our reputation as a top IB school extends far beyond the classroom.
Our facilities include a dedicated Innovation Centre, purpose-built science labs, creative arts studios, a performing arts theatre, boarding houses, and professional-quality sports facilities. These spaces reflect our commitment to offering students a world of opportunity—in academics, the arts, sport, and beyond.
A Global Outlook
Guided by our core value of “Welcome Everyone,” we embrace diversity, foster inclusivity, and encourage a deep appreciation for different cultures and perspectives.
Our students leave ACS Cobham as confident, compassionate global citizens—ready to act thoughtfully, lead responsibly, and make a positive impact. Each year, 60% of our graduates go on to study at leading universities across the UK, US, Europe and beyond, equipped with the skills and mindset to thrive in a global society.
A Welcoming Community
What sets ACS Cobham apart is our strong, inclusive community.
Whether students join us for one year or 16, they become part of a supportive environment that celebrates diversity and encourages every learner to be themselves. Our experienced pastoral team, university counsellors, and dedicated teachers work in partnership with families to help every student succeed.
