OUR HERITAGE:
First-class British Education: A Heritage of 400-year Practice
The royal-designated leading school

Charterhouse School was founded by a businessman and philanthropist of England, Thomas Sutton, in London back in 1611. In 1868, the school was designated as one of the leading Original Seven public schools in the Royal Act, together with Eton College and Harrow School, among others. Some four hundred years later since its establishment, Charterhouse has developed into one of the UK’s top independent schools, providing a first-class education with outstanding boarding for more than 800 pupils.

An exceptional gateway to Oxbridge and Ivy League

Every year, our Charterhouse graduates achieve excellent results in public examinations, including A-Level and IB Diploma Programme. In 2019 alone, 92% of our Charterhouse leavers attain Distinction and Merit grades in their pre-university public examinations. With such a superb academic achievement, our pupils have secured offers from some of the UK’s top universities, including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and Imperial College London. Beyond the UK, our Charterhouse leavers also get admitted into world top institutions, such as Princeton University, Brown University, and Columbia University.

"Founded in London in 1611, Charterhouse has over 400 years of experience in education and personal development."
