cant really add much but we liked acs Cobham but thought about how long we would be there versus turnover and realized they would need to make new friends every year or two as there is so many moving in and out so we went local private for stability

DP has several colleagues who have relocated from the US. Fees at ACS Cobham are part of their package. 5 children in total some primary age and some secondary. The parents are broadly happy, one of the children had trouble settling, but that has been resolved. The colleague with primary aged children is considering moving them to the UK system if they remain here as the turnover of friends is an issue.

can you elaborate on why you are moving from the English system to the American? Will you be staying permanently or moving at some point? If you plan to stay until the end of school, check out where their students go. I remember being surprised at how few known/highly ranked colleges/universities appeared on the destination list at ACS Cobham a few years back.
