OUR MISSION, VISION AND CORE VALUES:

Mission

Study, Create, and Inspire

Charterhouse Asia operates schools where students and teachers study, create, and inspire, to develop their capacities to build better lives for themselves and for others.

Vision

Future Ready – Education for a new reality

At Charterhouse Asia we recognise that artificial intelligence is changing the workplace and that to prepare our students for success in this “new reality” we need to move away from a traditional education programme that focuses exclusively on academic intelligence and the accumulation of knowledge, to one which embraces the full depth of human intelligence.

Our approach to the development of students is holistic and active. We believe that by providing our students with the best academic programme, that provides opportunity to apply what has been learned to real life situations, and by cultivating participation in a broad range of co-curricular activities, the building of internal and external relationships, the sharing of experiences, the understanding of self, and by nurturing a sense of community, we will prepare our students to be “Future Ready”.

 

Core values

Charterhouse International School shares, and is informed by, the core values of Charterhouse UK, including responsibility, moral courage, perseverance, open-mindedness, and kindness.

At Charterhouse we also recognise that we each have a responsibility to reflect upon everything we have been given and strive to make the most of the opportunities available to us in order to live our motto: ‘Deo Dante Dedi’ – God having given, I gave.

Everything we do at Charterhouse is centred around living to our core set of values. They help steer how we behave, learn and treat each other. They are embedded in and reflected upon in all aspects of school life. Of these, kindness – to ourselves and to others – is the most important and something we encourage in all pupils from their very first day.

We concentrate on educating the individual, to provide a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere where each child feels valued and can flourish. Every year we welcome children from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences; this enriches our community and is vital in preparing all our pupils for today's world.

  • Self-awareness to reflect upon all we have been given and make the most of the opportunities available to us.
