Overview
Overview
Hillingdon Court is part of the educational identity of ACS Hillingdon International School. The historic mansion contains Upper School classrooms, the library and restored rooms for assemblies and performances, while newer buildings provide science, digital arts, music, sports and early-years spaces. Woodland, outdoor-learning areas, an all-weather pitch and tennis courts extend the campus beyond the buildings.
The senior route uses international grades rather than the usual GCSE and A-level sequence. Grades 9 and 10 build credits towards an accredited US High School Diploma; Grades 11 and 12 offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, IB Career-related Programme, Advanced Placement courses and the High School Diploma. University destination and subject combinations need early attention because the pathways diverge.
Applications are accepted throughout the year subject to availability. Previous-school records, references, questionnaire responses and relevant standardised information form the application review, without a general entrance examination. Grade placement, the chosen senior route and any English-language or learning-support review are the practical points to settle before entry.
