Welcome to ACS Egham
Situated on a stunning 36-acre campus just outside London in the heart of Surrey, ACS Egham is a vibrant, inclusive IB school that educates students aged 4 to 18 from over 50 nationalities.
As part of the ACS International Schools group, ACS Egham is known for its welcoming community, outstanding teaching, and global outlook. One of only two private schools in the UK to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), we prepare our learners with the knowledge, empathy, and confidence to make a meaningful contribution in today’s world.
Building on this strong foundation, education at ACS Egham begins in the Early Childhood years, where enquiry-led learning sparks curiosity and builds confidence from the very start. Through our engaging Forest School and Outdoor Learning programme, young learners are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop a deep connection with the world around them. These experiences nurture creativity and independence while laying the groundwork for future success across the International Baccalaureate continuum. From an early age, students also engage with age-appropriate digital tools, helping them grow into adaptable, confident learners ready for an ever-evolving global future.
As students progress through the school, learning becomes increasingly personalised and academically rigorous. By the time they reach the Upper School, they are ready to embrace new challenges in a rich, supportive environment that encourages independence and intellectual curiosity. At ACS Egham, located just outside London, our older students benefit from inspiring teaching and a global perspective that reflects our diverse international community. As an IB World School offering the full continuum of International Baccalaureate programmes, we prepare them to excel at top universities in the UK and around the world – and to lead lives of purpose beyond the classroom.
Set within our beautiful 36-acre campus in Surrey, ACS Egham brings learning to life through exceptional spaces that inspire curiosity and growth. From collaborative classrooms and innovative science labs to creative arts studios and extensive sports facilities, every part of our environment has been thoughtfully designed to support each student’s academic and personal journey. Here, academic excellence meets real-world readiness – nurturing confident, creative learners who are prepared to make their mark in a rapidly changing world. It’s this balance of ambition and care that makes ACS Egham stand out among the best private schools in the UK.
Offering the Full IB Continuum
At ACS Egham, learning goes beyond the classroom. Our IB programmes encourage curiosity, independence, and a strong sense of purpose – helping students grow into reflective, resilient learners, ready for university and for life.
In the Lower School, children explore the world through enquiry-based learning in the IB Primary Years Programme (IBPYP), building a strong foundation in maths, literacy, science, and beyond.
As they progress, students choose the academic pathway that fits them best, whether that’s the US High School Diploma, the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), or the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP). With choice, support, and challenge built in, every student is empowered to shape their future with confidence.
A Global Outlook
At ACS Egham, our value of “Welcome Everyone” fosters a culture of inclusion and global understanding. As a fully accredited IB World School, we equip students with the academic rigour, international mindset, and compassion to thrive in a fast-changing world.
Our graduates go on to leading universities across the UK, the US, Canada, Europe, and beyond. From Oxford to UCL, Boston to Bocconi, they choose destinations that match their ambitions – ready to make a meaningful impact wherever they go.
Their journeys reflect not just academic excellence, but a global perspective and the confidence to shape the future.
A Warm Community
At the heart of ACS Egham is a vibrant international community that brings together students, families, staff, and alumni from around the world. Diversity is celebrated here, and every voice contributes to the warmth and energy that make our private school in Surrey truly special.
Beyond the classroom, life at ACS Egham is rich with opportunities – from sports and theatre to music, global trips, and service projects – all designed to help students grow, connect, and create lifelong memories.
From the moment a family joins us to the day students graduate, our teachers and counsellors work closely with parents to guide and support every stage of the learning journey. Shared traditions, events, and a deep sense of belonging make ACS Egham more than just a school – it’s a home where every student is known, valued, and inspired to thrive.
Parents sing the praises of staff who go the extra mile, from opening classrooms for external providers to run after-school classes to taking the IB theatre students on trips to London productions.
