ACS International Schools Partnerships
Our charitable ambition is to become a valued partner to local schools, their staff and students and the wider community.
ACS International Schools has three schools in the UK; Cobham, Egham and Hillingdon and offer an international education to over 2,300 students aged 2-18. It became a registered charity in September 2018.
ACS Partnerships aim to widen educational opportunities and raise educational standards within our partner schools through collaboration, sharing facilities, expertise, knowledge and a range of innovative and accessible learning initiatives around core subjects. Our ambition is to complement mainstream services with additional learning opportunities that have a positive impact on the education of the children in our partner schools.

2024 TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and the rest of the ACS Teams for a wonderful day on Tuesday. The staff and students thoroughly enjoyed the event. They highlighted the diverse range of experiences and the workshops they tried. Each of them had their eyes opened in some respect. Highlights for me were the Steam Engines, the Bloodhound, and the Gravity Industries Jet Packs, but to be fair it was all brilliant.
- Secondary school in Isleworth
"The engaging workshops and interactive activities truly sparked creativity and curiosity among our group and we particularly appreciated the VSS talk on Mental Health, as it provided valuable insights and inspiration. Titan the Robot and the STOMP workshop were also some of our highlights. It was evident that so much thought and effort went into curating such a diverse and engaging program.
The dedication of the organisers and volunteers was evident, and it made the event not only informative but also enjoyable. Events like these play a crucial role in encouraging young minds to explore STEAM fields and I am confident that the knowledge and enthusiasm gained during this event will have a lasting impact on our children."

2024 TESTIMONIALS
"I just wanted to say an official huge thank you to you and the ACS team for the amazing STEAM day at Thorpe Park last week. The children had a wonderful experience and have not stopped talking about it. One boy was heard to say that it was the best day of his life so far. Of course they (and I!) enjoyed the rollercoasters, but the workshops and stalls were so engaging too; we were able to have so many quality conversations about science and technology; the sheer number of partners involved was mind-blowing."
- Primary school in Hayes
"All the children I managed to speak to at the Royal Philharmonic conductor session were having an absolutely wonderful time, and they didn't even seem to be that interested in rides! The excitement was for all of the booths, stands, and activities they got to take part in - it was amazing!"
