Working at ACS - ACS International Schools

The world needs new thinking: get ready!

As a group of leading international schools we are committed to inspiring the world’s next global thinkers and doers.

This has been our purpose for more than fifty years, since we first opened an international school in the heart of London to give children from internationally-minded families an education that would prepare them to be the global citizens of tomorrow.

Together, we prepare our students by enabling their exploration of multiple pathways toward rewarding, passionate futures; by ensuring they will thrive both academically and personally on the global stage; and by preparing each one with caring and kindness to contribute in a world of constant change.

We believe in the importance of developing in our students the curiosity to ask questions, the courage to take risks, the compassion to care for all, and the knowledge, understanding, and confidence to thrive.

Why work at ACS?

The school's grounds enrich the teaching and learning experience by providing a beautiful backdrop for promoting environmental consciousness and sustainability. I am proud to be part of a community that not only prioritises academic excellence but also seeks to nurture a holistic education that prepares our students to be responsible global citizens
Chloe Welch, Social Studies Teacher Lead, ACS Cobham
The cultural diversity of the student body is a real asset when it comes to broadening perspectives in classroom discussions. ACS has a fantastic culture of continuous learning through the numerous professional development opportunities available to teachers. Friendly colleagues and easy access to London.
Patrick Kariku, IB English Language & Literature, ACS Hillingdon
The best part about teaching at ACS Cobham International School is the flexibility we have to match the curriculum, instruction, and learning opportunities to the needs of today's children and today's world.
Liz McVey, Lower School EAL/Student Services Teacher, ACS Cobham
At ACS, I have had many opportunities for both personal and professional growth. One of the most rewarding aspects of working at ACS is working with students and colleagues from various different cultural backgrounds as we can learn from each other's diverse experiences.
Carmel Kelly, Lower School EAL Teacher, ACS Egham
The variety of backgrounds, cultures and languages enriches our learning and makes for an interesting and lively environment. Working in the Primary Years Programme has enabled me to grow as an enquiry teacher and puts the children at the centre of everything that we do. We learn together on a beautiful campus where we can take the students’ learning outdoors in our Forest School sites or the fields surrounding the school.
Rachel Gonin, Lower School Teacher & Language Curriculum Lead, ACS Egham
I really enjoy working at ACS Egham. It's the best work-life balance I have ever had in my long career. It's a lovely place to work at and is run on respect and dialogue with all staff in all departments, and although I am responsible for a support service, I genuinely feel heard and included in the bigger picture delivering the best service and experience for all our students.
Paul Calway, Chef Manager, Egham Catering
I enjoy working at ACS Cobham because it is a lovely environment to be in. Staff and students are friendly, and I have found that there is a passion from both to work hard and excel on the sports pitches.
