Founded in 1611, Charterhouse is one of the world’s leading coeducational independent schools, welcoming boarders and day pupils at 13+ entry and 16+ entry.

Surrounded by a world of opportunity and connected by a feeling of belonging, each pupil at Charterhouse is educated to embrace life’s full potential, and empowered to carry this into their future. A Charterhouse education prepares for both academic success as well as laying the foundations for future professional, social and personal fulfilment.

The School is academically ambitious for every pupil, with all strands of a Charterhouse education leading towards being fully prepared for the real-world of tomorrow and equipped to grasp future opportunities.

The curriculum is all about choice for the individual and is firmly rooted in academic rigour, intellectual curiosity and independent learning.  Year 9 pupils follow a real breadth of academic subjects, with the curriculum in Years 10 and 11 culminating in (I)GCSEs.

Pupils benefit from the dual offer available in the Sixth Form: A Levels with an Extended Project Qualification or the breadth of the IB Diploma Programme. A wonderful range of academic electives are on offer, including the Charterhouse Entrepreneurship Diploma (accredited by the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs) and the Ivy House Leadership Award.

From an outstanding and varied academic education to the raft of co-curricular options – opportunities abound at Charterhouse. With over 80 activities, the co-curriculum is an essential strand of a Charterhouse education, combining opportunities for leadership development, creativity, exercise and team work.

The Boarding House teams are at the heart of supporting each young person on their journey through the School.  The Heads of House live in the Houses, and are supported by a team of tutors and pastoral staff – two of whom are also residential. The House Teams are supported by a 24-hour Health Centre and pupils also have access to support through the Wellbeing team, counsellors and chaplaincy.

Shared values are central to life at Charterhouse, enabling each person to be themselves – everything at Charterhouse begins with kindness.
