A focus on the Future: Skills for Tomorrow
The world is changing. Alongside traditional academic knowledge and results, our young people will need to demonstrate flexibility, self-reflection, and the ability to continually learn, if they are to thrive professionally and personally.
Our pioneering FutureU programme is embedded throughout our Under School, providing huge opportunities for everyone.
Each of our pupils will develop a foundation in the transferable skills, practical experiences and mindsets which will be highly prized within their future globalised society.
Wherever possible, we apply learning to real-world scenarios, focusing on experiential and reflective learning. We bring new technologies into the learning process.
Skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, resilience and innovation are central to everything that Charterhouse does to ensure that every child is as future-ready as possible.

We have watched our son grow in maturity and in happiness, and become more capable and confident in all aspects of his life.
