Charterhouse Malaysia

Charterhouse Malaysia is part of one of the world’s most respected educational families, tracing its origins to Charterhouse School in England, founded in 1611. As the first Charterhouse campus in Asia, we combine over four centuries of academic excellence and tradition with an innovative, future-focused approach designed for the modern learner.

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Charterhouse Malaysia is an independent, co-educational British international school for students aged 13 to 18 (Years 9-13).

We provide a personalised and academically rigorous pathway leading to IGCSE and A Level qualifications, underpinned by our distinctive Future Ready curriculum that equips students with the skills, values and mindset needed to thrive in an uncertain and rapidly changing world.

Our curriculum blends the intellectual rigour of British qualifications with innovative, interdisciplinary learning experiences. Students follow the Pearson or Cambridge IGCSE and A Level programmes, supported by our Future Ready Framework that integrates key competencies drawn from the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report and our own Human Intelligence Markers.

These markers – Academic Intelligence, Social Intelligence, Meta-Cognitive Intelligence, Meta-Subjective Intelligence, Meta-Contextual Intelligence, and Perceived Self-Efficacy – underpin lesson design, assessment and reflection. They help students understand how they learn, not just what they learn.

Alongside traditional subjects, students engage in:

• The Independent Learning Project (ILP) – an extended, research-based investigation that develops critical thinking, academic writing and presentation skills.
• Service – fostering social awareness and civic responsibility.
• Future Ready Skills Programme – incorporating design thinking, digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and global issues.
• Unique Pathways – including the A Level Foundation (ALF) programme, designed to support different starting points,  learning trajectories and university aspirations.

Our school is small by design, allowing each of our 250 students to be known, valued and supported. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, between staff and students, between peers, and across the wider community
