Introduction to Boarding at TASIS England

TASIS England offers an excellent boarding experience on our 46-acre campus, set in beautiful grounds in Surrey, near London. In our international boarding school program, students (aged 13 -18) have great fun while gaining independence, responsibility, and respect as they share experiences and develop life-long relationships.

Approximately half of our Upper School students and some of our eighth grade students live on campus. Our boarding houses are supervised by a caring TASIS England boarding team who are committed to making the residential experience safe, friendly, warm, and enjoyable. With our guidance and encouragement, each student will develop the empathy, resilience, and confidence needed to make their pursuit of academic excellence achievable and fulfilling.

We welcome students from all over the world to join our vibrant, inclusive school community. Students form life-long friendships and make lasting memories as they live and work together and enjoy a varied program of travel, social, and weekend activities.

Rooms are typically shared between two or three students, each with a different home language to encourage the use of English and to share and celebrate the diversity of our internationally minded community. All meals are provided, and the on-campus Health Center ensures that health care is available if required.

Our Boarding Principles and Practice Policy fully supports TASIS England's Mission to nurture intellectual curiosity and embolden each learner to flourish as a principled, open-minded, and compassionate member of our global community.

Beyond our high-quality academic and co-curricular programs, the TASIS England boarding school experience encourages students to be busy and active during the weekend.

We offer a wide variety of fun experiences, taking advantage of the rich culture of London and the beautiful countryside of the UK.

Our students enjoy trips to West End and local theatres, museums, and exhibitions; outdoor activities such as mountain biking, paintball, and water sports; social events like Homecoming and the Junior/Senior Prom; and so much more. Students are also encouraged to propose new activities of interest to them.

Service Leadership

We believe that developing leadership skills through service is a vital part of a student’s education.

We encourage every member of our community to engage with the world around them and use their knowledge, time, and talents to make a positive difference. Opportunities to participate in community service during the school year include projects on our campus as well as in the local community.

October Travel Program

Travel is an integral part of the TASIS England experience and helps our students develop the quality of international mindedness.

Our travel program enriches our students’ education, enabling them to gain valuable life skills and new perspectives through first-hand experiences. Each year, we organize chaperoned trips to destinations such as Greece, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.

Regulations

A student's dormitory is their home at TASIS England. Our rules are designed to help our students make good decisions and to keep everyone safe, healthy, and happy.

Boarding is an excellent way for students to gain independence, but it is also vital that students respect each other, the staff, and the grounds. Boarding students are expected to be considerate and respect the privacy of others. They are never to be in another student's room unless by invitation, with approval of the House Parent, and unless accompanied by the resident student.

Boarding Health Center

TASIS England is committed to the health and well-being of every student.

Our state-of-the-art Health Center provides an on-campus medical service for all students and is staffed by a team of professional nurses who are on call 24/7. Our nurses work closely with the TASIS England counselors.

Boarding students can request an on-campus appointment with a doctor who comes to the School regularly. Appointments can also be arranged with local dentists, orthodontists, and other medical professionals, if required.
