Overview

ACS Egham International School runs an international curriculum through the Woodlee mansion and its wooded Surrey grounds. Pupils move through the International Baccalaureate continuum rather than a British grammar-school sequence, giving this all-through day school a different educational structure from the outset.

In the Upper School, the IB Middle Years Programme leads to the IB Diploma Programme or IB Career-related Programme at 16. An accredited US High School Diploma also underpins Grades 9 to 12. Specialist science, art, design technology and computer spaces, an IB centre, a performing arts centre and indoor and outdoor sport give those routes a substantial physical home.

Direct applications can be made throughout the year when places are available. Grade placement, the admissions review and the way a planned university destination treats the IB, Career-related or US Diploma route matter more than a conventional Year 7 comparison. International continuity to Grade 12, framed by the mansion and woodland campus, is the school's central proposition.

Key points
Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
Sixth form
Sixth form available.
