With a prestigious global reputation, Charterhouse offers the very best all-round education for pupils aged 13 to 18 years old: an immersive learning experience which is full of opportunity, academic excellence, excitement and fun. Its ethos centres on ensuring that each young person becomes future-ready during their time at school. The school’s pioneering FutureU curriculum is central to the Charterhouse experience, ensuring that each child develops the transferable skills, knowledge, experiences, and mindset required to thrive throughout their later life.
Flexibility and choice sit at the heart of each pupil’s academic journey, from a wide range of course choices at GCSE, through to the option of either A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) in Sixth Form. Across a cohort of 170 pupils taking A Levels or the IBDP in 2024, 86% of papers were awarded A*-B grades (or equivalent). The IB Diploma Programme average score was 37.5. The university destinations of leavers reflect both the ambitions of pupils and the quality of teaching on offer: 90% of Carthusians secure places at their chosen universities in the UK, US and around the world.
Everyone is bonded by their shared Carthusian identity, which lasts a lifetime.
“We know we have succeeded when a Charterhouse education notonly paves the way for academic success but also lays the foundationsfor professional, social and personal happiness and fulfilment.
