Story

FUNDING FUTURE MINDS INSPIRING A NEW GENERATION

ACS International Schools in America is a non-profit organisation based on the East Coast that supports education around the world. Our mission is to raise awareness of and support for ACS International Schools education allowing more students to benefit from the wonderful opportunities offered by the schools, and help change lives, through scholarships, new teaching and learning spaces, classrooms and facilities.

ACS International Schools in America wants to help equip young people with the knowledge and skills they need to understand the world they live in, in readiness to rise to its challenges. We believe we can make a difference to many young people across America, who would thrive from an ACS education, but do not have the financial means to make it possible.

ACS International Schools have run the British Studies Summer Program (BSSP) for over 20 years a residential educational enrichment program based at ACS in the UK. Over this time, 20 students per year, who are academically able but lack the financial means to fund an international summer education, have benefitted from BSSP at ACS.

With your help, our Funding Future Minds Campaign will support 40 scholarship students from across the US to attend ACS in the UK each year. As a community, we have the power to make a life-changing difference to these young people

How your donation helps:

$1,000 supports the residential costs of the scholarship at ACS Cobham

$3,000 funds one travel scholarship

$5,500 supports one full scholarship

I donated to ACS in America to give an academically able and highly deserving young person a chance to experience something of the life-changing benefits I enjoyed attending a world class international school.

About the charity

When ACS International Schools started in 1967, so did our commitment to provide high quality international education and to positively impact the communities we serve. Over 50 years on, while trends in education come and go, our founding principles remain. They’re at the heart of everything we do. In 2018, we became a UK-registered charity and ACS International Schools In America Inc. a 501(c)(3) non-profit organisation, was established in the US. ACS has already invested over £1m in means-tested bursary places, providing opportunities for students to benefit from an ACS education and, in turn, enriching our community. In our next 2023-24 academic year, over 40 students will benefit from bursary places. In addition to the significant sums we already commit, we also invest in campus facilities to enhance our students’ learning and support for teaching excellence.
