Our admissions process does not involve an entrance exam.
Our online application process takes a holistic approach, assessing each candidate individually by reviewing previous school records, references, questionnaire answers and standardised test scores.
We also ask you to provide any Individual Education Plans (IEP), psychological assessments, occupational therapy, language reports or medical reports.
This helps us understand the complete student, giving us a real insight into who they are today and how we can make them ready for tomorrow.

Einsatz von Technologie im Unterricht
At ACS, students learn how technology can be a powerful tool for taking an active role in how they choose and achieve their learning goals. They also learn about the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of living, learning, and working in an interconnected digital world.
ACS teachers and IT professionals enable students to construct knowledge, innovate, solve problems, design, create, and communicate with developmentally appropriate educational technologies. We integrate technology across the curriculum so that students can become effective digital citizens, computational thinkers, and global collaborators.
Educational technology at ACS schools is supported by Apple, ‘inspiring every kind of mind’; Google Workspace for Education; Microsoft 365 Education; alongside a wide range of contemporary applications and technology partners. Younger students learn in a unified 1:1 school-based Apple iPad programme. Older students use their own Apple laptops (purchased from the school’s approved supplier) in a fully-managed environment.
Our Lower School has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School since 2016. Since 2024, the whole school was recognised as an Apple Distinguished school. ACS Hillingdon teachers were recognised for “continuous innovation using Apple technology to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning.” In addition, many teachers are certified Google Educators, demonstrating mastery of Google tools in the classroom and advanced technology integration skills.
We are committed to safe, people-centred design that leverages advanced technology as an essential–but not exclusive–resource for learning. We use human and machine intelligence to ensure that our students are ready for a rapidly-changing digital world.
