First founded in 1976, TASIS The American School in England (otherwise known as TASIS England) is an independent school in the village of Thorpe, Surrey. The school provides an American-style education to its students, following an American curriculum. As a result, the majority of the school’s students are American, although there is still a significant international contingent. The school’s campus occupies 46 acres of land, close to Royal Holloway University. TASIS England has around 800 pupils on roll, with a minority of these being boarding students.

The school makes extensive use of the wide range of modern facilities available on campus in order to achieve this, with students having the option of a wide range of sports opportunities and extra-curricular activities. In terms of curriculum, older students at the school have the option of taking the International Baccalaureate, a two-year course widely recognised by a huge range of international higher-education institutions.

Consistently high quality teaching supported by an outstanding curriculum ensures students achieve exceptionally well during their time at school.
