choosing between TASIS and ACS Cobham
« on: June 24, 2011, 11:03:25 PM »
We are moving to Surrey in August, and just found out our 3 boys (9th grade, 4th grade, 2nd grade) were accepted at TASIS and ACS Cobham.  We now have the happy problem of picking a school!  We are only staying 2 years in the UK and then returning to New Jersey.  Any feedback on the reputations/pluses & minuses of these schools would be greatly appreciated!!

I'm in the same situation!  We chose TASIS.  I think both are excellent schools, though.  I had a phone conversation with the admissions dept from each school and used that info to help me make a decision.
Do you know where you'll be living?  Proximity to your home may be a factor to consider.  
I chose TASIS based on what my expat friends who previously lived in the UK told me and the information I got from the admissions dept.  My 8 yr old daughter had her heart set on TASIS after paging through their glossy brochure.  And (although not a deciding factor) I am a big fan of school uniforms.  Also the other expat families from our company go to TASIS as well.  
Good luck with your decision.  It's hard to know what to do if you haven't had a chance to actually visit the schools!
If you end up at TASIS, perhaps our paths will cross in the fall.   :)

Thanks for the feedback!  We are planning to live near our chosen school, so we don't have a place yet.  I am hoping to make a decision in the next couple of days, so we can find a place to live!

I just got the buddy family letter from TASIS and saw your email on the cc list. 

We are also going to look for a house close to school and have scheduled our house hunting trip for July 24. 

Good luck with your decision making!

Jenny,
This weekend we thought a lot about it, and decided to go with TASIS, so it looks like we will be seeing each other soon!
