About Charterhouse
Founded in 1611, Charterhouse is one of the UK’s leading co-educational independent schools, with a prestigious global reputation. The school provides a future-ready education for pupils aged 13 to 18 years old. Everything at Charterhouse begins with kindness. The intangible sense of community, togetherness and belonging are fundamental elements of the Charterhouse experience. Shared values are central to school life, enabling each pupil to be themselves. Each pupil has the time, space and sense of balance needed to try everything, both in and out of the classroom. Underpinning everything the school does is a commitment to enabling young people to reach their highest academic potential. A large network of teachers and pastoral staff supports each child. Teaching prepares pupils for exam success, future university study and for life after education.
Charterhouse aims to make their pupils amongst the most future-ready young adults in the world. The pioneering FutureU programme provides every child with the opportunity to develop the skills, professional knowledge and mindset that will enable them to thrive in our fast-changing world. Every pupil has the opportunity to play to their strengths and to find their passions, often in the most unexpected of places, which will be carried with them into later life. Each child is unique, their education should be too.
