International Pupils
Choosing to study at a UK independent school is an exciting decision for international families. We welcome students from around the world into our diverse and inclusive community.
Our admissions team is on hand to support and guide you through each step of the process, and will offer specialist advice to our international families in order to make your decision making as smooth as possible.
At Charterhouse, we understand that relocating to a new country is a significant transition, and we are here to support you every step of the way. We offer a nurturing environment, high-quality education, and dedicated resources to help international pupils thrive both academically and socially.
We focus on being a British independent school with a vibrant international outlook, both in terms of our pupil body and the programmes that we offer. Our children will need to have a global perspective during their future careers; their time at School should be similar. At any one time, up to 20% of our pupils are resident overseas.
Whether you are moving to the area or joining us from abroad, we look forward to partnering with you to ensure a smooth and enriching experience for your entire family.
Academic Excellence
British education is globally recognised for its high standards. Charterhouse offers a broad and balanced curriculum, including GCSEs, the IBDP and A Levels, with a strong emphasis on critical thinking, creativity, and academic progress.
It is the remarkable breadth of opportunity outside of the classroom that is particularly exciting to our international applicants, providing opportunities that may simply be impractical at your current School. At Charterhouse, everything is available to you directly on our beautiful campus.
