Welcome to Ages 10-18 Senior School
We are a dynamic international community that aims to inspire the world’s next global thinkers and doers.
Our broad and challenging curriculum invites students to excel and thrive, ensuring they are ready for university and beyond. Co-curricular activities and service learning are an important part of who we are, and students are provided with a wide array of opportunities to develop themselves beyond the classroom.

Middle School
In Middle School, we aim for our students to become confident individuals and encourage them to actively participate in our community.
Pastoral care is particularly important during the Middle School years therefore we provide a nurturing environment and a robust wellbeing programme to ensure students feel safe, supported and empowered.
We offer a diverse range of academic courses to enable students to explore their interests. In addition to core subjects, students can study performing arts, health, PE and visual arts.
Upper School
In Upper School, we help students develop the necessary academic and intellectual skills to succeed in higher education. Students are encouraged to explore various subjects before selecting their courses for High School.
Our Wellbeing and University and College Counselling programmes in Grades 9 and 10 offer guidance, advice, and support to help students tackle academic challenges, foster personal growth, and plan for their futures. Teachers help students identify their strengths and enhance their academic skills. We monitor student progress through a variety of school-based and externally benchmarked assessments.
High school
In High School, students can select from globally recognised qualifications, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), College Board Advanced Placement (AP), and the standard High School Diploma.
Our expert University and College Counselling Team supports students with their course selection and applications for further education. Each year, ACS Cobham students move on to attend some of the best institutions across the globe. To further support our students through their High School years, we also have a highly experienced Student Wellbeing Team available to all students in Grades 11–12.
Teaching children to stand out, not blend in
In the Senior School, a vibrant and supportive environment encourages students to explore their passions, develop critical thinking skills, and participate in a rich variety of activities. Engagement in co-curricular programmes, service learning, and leadership opportunities ensures that students graduate from ACS Cobham ready to make a difference.
In Senior School we encourage students to:
- Think independently
- Ask challenging questions
- Solve problems
- Communicate across languages and cultures
- Develop research skills
- Value different perspectives
Students learn to think for themselves, nurture their talents, and drive their own learning so that they leave our school as confident individuals, caring contributors, and effective learners ready to stand out on the global stage
