Students from more than fifty nations contribute to the school's dynamic learning environment, thriving in an atmosphere that encourages character development, an enthusiasm for life-long learning, and an appreciation for cultural diversity. The school's spacious campus, located in a quiet village 18 miles from London and eight miles from Heathrow Airport, blends historic buildings with new, purpose-built facilities for science, technology, theatre, visual arts, music, and sports. Experienced and dedicated teachers provide individualised attention, nurturing each student's potential in small classes throughout TASIS England's three divisions: Lower (ages three to nine), Middle (10-13), and Upper (14-18). While academics are emphasised, students develop their talents through participation in a wide variety of sports, extracurricular activities, community service, and leadership pursuits. All pupils regularly benefit from working closely with visiting artists, actors, musicians, and sports professionals. Individualised college counseling assists Upper School students in every step of the university selection and application process. This, along with their success in Advanced Placement courses (similar to A levels) and the IB Diploma, results in acceptances to excellent universities in the US, the UK, Canada, and worldwide. Proximity to London enables the school to take full advantage of the opportunities that England and Europe offer as extensions to classroom learning, and TASIS students enjoy numerous field trips, weekend activities, and travel abroad. Celebrating 40 years of forward-thinking education, TASIS England is an IB World School, accredited by the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and inspected by Ofsted. The School is a also member of the National Association of Independent Schools. | ||||||||||||||||||
