3. Review

Once your online application is received, it will be assessed by our Admissions Team, taking into account all information provided. We will contact you if any additional documents are required and inform you of the outcome as soon as we can.

4. Admission

If your application is successful*, we will contact you with an offer of a place for your child. To secure the place, we require a non-refundable enrolment deposit, which we set against the second semester tuition fees. For more details of application fees, deposits and tuition costs, see the Fees section of our website.

*Chances for an admission vary across each grade. Should your child’s application be successful, but the grade applied for is at capacity, your child will be waitlisted. When a place becomes available, we will contact you immediately to complete the rest of the admission process.

5. Welcome

Our team will provide you with all the necessary information (cafeteria, transport, school platforms, subject selection, visa compliance etc.) prior to the first day of school to ensure a smooth start for everyone.

Grade Placement

Children come to ACS Egham from a wide range of countries and schools. This table shows the equivalent class age and curriculum for different education systems.

Our aim is to make your application process as smooth as possible

We operate a rolling admission process, which means we accept applications all year round and students may start school at any point in our academic year (subject to availability).

Our online application process takes a holistic approach, assessing each candidate individually by reviewing previous school records, teacher references, student questionnaire and standardised test scores.

We also ask for additional information such as Educational Psychologist (EP) reports or English as an Additional Language (EAL) tests, where relevant. This helps us understand the whole student, giving us a valuable insight into who they are today and how we can make them ready for tomorrow.
