ACS International Schools is a group of three private schools based in England and one in Qatar. Until 2005, the organisation was known as American Community Schools. The four campuses are located in Cobham and Egham in Surrey and in the London Borough of Hillingdon and Doha, Qatar which has opened in September 2011. ACS Doha is situated in the Gharrafa district of Doha, near the Al Ittihad Sports Complex and just to the west of the Landmark Shopping Mall.
ACS International Schools was founded in 1967 to serve both local and international communities. Approximately 2,600 students from more than 70 countries attend the three London area campuses (Cobham, Egham, and Hillingdon).
The schools are non-sectarian and co-educational, with both day and boarding available. The UK campuses offer the three International Baccalaureate (IB) Programmes (Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma), and an American curriculum including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, enabling ACS graduates to attend many of the world's finest universities.
