Our contemporary boarding houses sit within a secure, 128-acre campus with state-of-the-art sports, performing arts and teaching facilities. We are fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful Surrey countryside, yet still in close proximity to central London, with regular opportunities for our boarders to visit the cultural and historical sites of the city.

At ACS Cobham we understand the perfect boarding experience balances academic success with stimulating co-curricular and weekend activities, so we offer an extensive enrichment programme across the academic year to appeal to a wide range of interests.

Our world-renowned curriculum is based on international educational best practice and challenges our students to become service- orientated global citizens with inquisitive minds and the confidence to challenge the status quo. We work hard to create a dynamic learning environment and a culture of diversity and optimism – readying our students for an ever-changing world.

ACS has adopted the BSA COVID-Safe Charter, a voluntary code to assure international boarders and their parents that schools have done everything they can to ensure their safety when they return.

We have risk-assessed the boarding provision and adapted policies and procedures to ensure risk is minimised. But we will also ensure the spirit and fun of boarding continues so that our students have a fantastic year at ACS.

Each boarding house lives as a separate household, balancing the importance of a full family- based boarding programme with the important of maintaining consistent groups. During the school day, boarders are incorporated into their respective independent year group/ grade level cohorts.

Boarding student have full medical support. Boarding houses have isolation rooms and can accommodate students in temporary travel quarantine or self-isolation. House parents monitor the health of boarding students daily.

Any boarder who show signs of being unwell with potential COVID-19 symptoms will be required to return to their family, guardian or agent until the boarding nurse has given permission for the student to return. While waiting for arrangements to be made, the boarder will remain isolated from the boarding house.

Here is a short film on the safety measures we have in place for our thriving boarding community:

As part of an increasingly mobile world, the ACS Cobham Boarding House has established itself as a genuine champion of internationalism, with students representing more than 30 countries. We are proud of our multicultural identity, and celebrate the things that make us different as an integral part of boarding life.

Expert residential house parents and nurse ensure our students have the constant support, guidance, and care to be happy, inspired, and ready to make their mark on the world. We see student achievement as an individual goal. Academic success in the renowned International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) and Advanced Placement (AP) ensures our boarders can attend the university of their choice anywhere in the world.

Success in sports, the performing and creative arts, in leadership, growth and responsibility empowers all to become well-rounded and well-grounded individuals. Our outstanding residency sits within a secure, thriving, 128-acre campus full of study, creative, and recreational facilities. A multi-million pound refurbishment of the existing boarding house Fields is now complete and features a new walk-in medical centre with a fully-trained medical team.
