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.
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.
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.

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.
