Showcasing a bold vision of a modern, globally focussed, holistic education across multiple school sites.
ACS International Schools is an education group offering a refreshingly unique approach to teaching across three diverse schools and campuses. With a strong focus on shaping the future, they came to us with a brief to create one ‘parent’ site for the organisation and 3 individual school sites which – both individually and collectively – would communicate their innovative mindset and the transformational learning experience they deliver.
To achieve this, we set out to create a bold and engaging set of websites that focussed on inspiring each student, both current and prospective, to become a ‘global thinker and doer’, and show how ACS prepares them with the skills to make a genuine difference. While the whole suite of sites belong to the same family – with a consistent look and feel and shared structural elements – we employed unique colours for each school to give an individual identity.
The Web Kitchen team has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From the initial pitch through to completion, they truly understood our bold vision and our desire to stand out in a competitive market. The outcome is a fresh, innovative, and user-friendly website for each of our schools, as well as for the organisation as a whole. The account team were a delight to work with—always organised, flexible, and proactive, with a positive, can-do attitude. We are absolutely thrilled with the final product, which not only meets but exceeds our expectations.

A world ready vision.
We quickly focused on the key narrative that ACS schools help their students become ‘ready to explore, create, and achieve’. This became a central feature of how we wanted to approach the site: that it too should be a space for exploration and discovery, showcasing the power of creativity, and ultimately be high performing itself!
To help evoke the sense of exploration and endless possibilities, we created a bespoke WebGL gallery for each of the school homepages, with a unique infinite scroll gallery which allows the user to explore the school’s distinct selling points in a fun and creative way.
Putting the brand front and centre.
We used elements of the organisation’s logo to produce a custom ‘exploding globe’ effect that animates on scroll. By blending the 2D icons into a 3D element, we were able to create a really unique visual experience, which feels innovative and helps communicate the global approach intrinsic to the schools. This was reinforced through use of circles and curves throughout the design.
Creating a bold and impactful online presence.
