Charterhouse reserves a few places in Years 9 and 12 for candidates from overseas. We do not usually admit overseas students to any other year.
Year 9
Boys should be registered before the end of December of the year before entry. They are then tested at their own schools, at a recognised testing centre or under the supervision of Academic Asia in Hong Kong, usually in January. Tests are set in English, Science and Mathematics, and a high level of performance is expected. We will also ask for a report from the candidate's school. Those who are successful in the tests will be offered unconditional places, and parents will be asked to pay a deposit to secure the place. This will include advance payment of the first term's fees. Some reserve places may also be offered.
Year 12
Boys and girls should submit an application form by mid October of the year before entry, and we will then ask for a school report. Tests and interviews are held at Charterhouse in November. We expect all candidates to come to Charterhouse, except those who sit the tests in Hong Kong, supervised by Academic Asia. In some cases, we are willing to test candidates at Charterhouse at their own convenience, but it is best to come on the test day itself. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of performance in the tests. Offers of places are made at the beginning of December, and parents will be asked to pay a deposit to secure the place, which will include advance payment of the first term's fees. If places are left after this process, we will test applicants at Charterhouse the following year, but it is advisable to apply at the correct time in order to maximise the chance of success.
Sixth Form applicants from Brazil are eligible for the Roger and Felipe Wright Memorial Scholarship. For details, please go to Scholarships 16+
