Student Exam Success
Students at all three ACS schools have demonstrated their academic success with another set of outstanding results this year and will be attending some outstanding universities across the globe.
Leading the field and heading to Oxford to read History are Maddelena Lombardi and Gregor Roach who both graduated from ACS Egham with world-beating scores of 40 points out of a maximum 45 in their International Baccalaureate (IB) Diplomas.
Re-em Tal from ACS Hillingdon also scored 40 points and will be heading to Cambridge to read Land Economy. Jules Meeus from ACS Cobham scored an impressive 41 in his IB Diploma and is heading off to the University of Bath to take a degree in Business Administration. With Bath in the top three UK universities for business, accounting and finance degrees, this is another excellent academic achievement.
ACS International School becomes a Charitable Entity
We are delighted to announce that we have received confirmation from the Charities Commission that we are now a fully registered Charity. We can now move on with our plan to advance education enabling each student to achieve to the best of their abilities.
Students Sight Saving Trip
Five ACS International School students, went on a 2-week internship with sight saving charity, Orbis, in Chennai, India over the summer. As part of a two-week journalism internship, sponsored by the ACS International school Foundation, students joined Orbis, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing eye care to disadvantaged communities worldwide. The internship, now in its 18th year allows students to understand and witness Orbis’s sight saving work in hospitals, schools and the community.
The five students visited the Sankara Nethralaya Hospital, where they observed an operation where a nine-month-old baby had their cataract removed, as well as visiting the Elite School of Optometry, learning how to spot vision loss and how children’s eyes are tested at school screenings funded by the charity.
