TASIS England

What TASIS England does

TASIS England (legal name: TASIS The American School in England, UK company registration number 1604308) is a private international day and boarding school founded in 1976 by Mrs. M. Crist Fleming on a 46-acre campus in Thorpe, Surrey, approximately 25 minutes from Heathrow Airport. The school serves roughly 650 students aged 4–18 across three sections — Lower School (Pre-K to Grade 4), Middle School (Grades 5–8), and Upper School (Grades 9–12) — drawn from 70+ nationalities, with approximately 250 boarding students aged 13–18 housed in supervised on-campus boarding houses. The school delivers a combined American and international curriculum, including over 20 Advanced Placement courses authorized by the College Board and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, supported by an EAL programme for non-native English speakers, four-year university counselling, and co-curricular offerings across arts, sports, academic travel, and community service.

The school is owned by the TASIS Foundation, a Swiss not-for-profit educational foundation registered in Delémont, Switzerland, which also governs other TASIS schools worldwide; TASIS England operates under a UK Board of Directors that sets fiscal and operating policies. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition subscriptions: day tuition ranges from £15,600 (Pre-K) to £37,170 (Grades 9–12), full-year boarding (Grades 8–12) is priced at £69,650, and semester boarding options are offered at £39,325 (first semester) and £35,000 (second semester), all VAT-inclusive. Ancillary recurring streams include door-to-door busing across Surrey, Middlesex, Berkshire, and surrounding areas, and mandatory boarding medical insurance; one-time fees include a £240 application fee and a £900 development fund fee per new student.

Distribution combines direct admissions through a five-person senior enrollment team, a multilingual marketing footprint (11 languages), European education fair recruitment (Madrid, Rome, Vilnius cited), an AQF-signed international education agent network (pledge signed April 7, 2026), virtual tours and webinars, and community-led referral platforms (PeerPal parent and student ambassadors). The school holds a dense accreditation stack — NEASC and CIS re-accredited November 2025, IB World School with a highly positive January 2026 evaluation, British Council-accredited summer programme, ISI-inspected, and UKVI licensed sponsor (Reg. 5K3GYTJ42) — and reports AP and IB pass rates of 94% and 91% respectively, materially above world averages. Reported operating technology is limited to Veracross for admissions/student/parent portals and Finalsite for the public website; no proprietary AI/ML or differentiated technology platform is disclosed.
