Charterhouse

A Future-Ready Education

Founded in 1611, Charterhouse is one of the World’s leading independent boarding schools. The School is set within an inspiring 250-acre campus. With 17 grass sports pitches, 3 full-sized Astroturf pitches, an athletics stadium, a sports centre, 24 tennis courts and a 9-hole golf course, not to mention beautiful lawns and gardens, the campus is one of the best, if not the best, in the country. Combined with a 235-seat theatre and separate music performance and art display spaces, the School’s setting encourages pupils to contribute, and provides a safe community in which to explore and grow. With more than 80 different sports and activities, including outdoor pursuits, music, drama and other creative subjects all pupils are encouraged to develop existing interests to exciting levels and to take up new ones, with few limits to what can be pursued. Charterhouse’s academic curriculum promotes academic rigour, develops intellectual curiosity and fosters the ability to learn independently. The curriculum follows the normal path to (I)GCSEs in Year 11, followed by a choice of A level courses or the IB Diploma Programme in the Sixth Form. The School also offers a taught series of timetabled extended projects and academic enrichment electives. The university destinations of leavers reflect both their abilities and the quality of the education provided at the School.
