TASIS England offers its widely respected universitypreparatory
curriculum to day students, ages 3-18, and to
boarding students, ages 14-18. Located on a beautiful and
historic estate 18 miles south-west of London and eight miles
from Heathrow Airport, TASIS England’s spacious campus
combines Georgian mansions and 17th century cottages with
new, purpose-built facilities.
The TASIS experience prepares young people from over 50
nations to meet the challenges of a demanding world. This
diversity, along with small classes and a dedicated,
experienced faculty, numbering in excess of 100, provides an
outstanding environment for learning.
Individualised college counselling assists students in every
step of the university selection and application process.
Success in the International Baccalaureate Diploma
Programme and American College Board Advanced
Placement courses (similar to A levels) has resulted in
acceptances to some of the finest universities in the United
States, the United Kingdom, Canada and worldwide.
While academics are emphasised, sports, the arts,
extracurricular activities, and community service are essential
to the school’s mission of ensuring a balanced education.
TASIS England comprises three divisions: Lower (ages 3-9),
Middle (ages 10-13) and Upper (ages 14-18). Students in each
division regularly benefit from the opportunity to work closely
with visiting artists, actors, musicians and sports
professionals.
The school takes full advantage of its location, and students
enjoy numerous field trips, cultural excursions, and weekend
activities, travelling to London, throughout the UK and abroad
as extensions to classroom learning.
Admissions decisions for the academic school year are made
on a rolling basis upon receipt of a completed application
form together with supporting academic information and the
application fee. A campus visit is recommended unless
distance is a prohibiting factor. Contact Karen House, Director
of Admissions: ukadmissions@tasisengland.org
Accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and
the New England Association of Schools and Colleges
(NEASC), TASIS England is an IB World School and was
inspected by Ofsted in 2008 with outstanding results. The
school is a member of The Association of Boarding Schools
(TABS) and the National Association of Independent Schools
(NAIS).
