Boarding Life

On arrival at ACS, we work with each student to identify their particular passions and interests to ensure they have the chance to cultivate these during their time with us, and that their programme of activities is balanced and healthy.

Several of our clubs are organised and run by students themselves, helping develop their leadership skills. One of these is our Model United Nations club, where they exchange views on topics of international concern.

On weekends, our boarders are encouraged to participate in a full range of planned activities, this varies from cultural visits to London, go-karting, charity hours or visits to adventure parks such as Thorpe Park.

There is free time to socialise and relax in the evenings with varying bedtimes depending on age.

ACS Cobham’s award-winning catering department is operated in house, enabling us to employ and train all our own chefs. We take great pride in producing delicious, fresh and nutritious food that appeals to our international community.

Our menus are always seasonal and follow the School Food Trust’s nutritional guidelines. We source all our fresh ingredients from approved suppliers.

Most of our daily deliveries of vegetables, fruit, dairy and meat come from local producers, so we can trace each meal from ‘farm to fork’.
