may flourish and become the best possible versions of themselves. We provide an education that lasts a
lifetime, where pupils lead fulfilled and purposeful lives, enjoying an all-round education.
An Education for a Good Life
A holistic education is one that is ethical, intellectual, and spiritual. Drawing on this strong
tradition, Charterhouse Asia brings this philosophy right up to date and presents a contemporary vision of
the best of this heritage. Our graduates will be equipped with what we call the ‘Five for Life’: the five
dimensions that build strength. These are the skill of relationships, the quality of sharp and attentive
intelligence, the virtue of giving, the love of learning, and the habit of physical activity. With the
‘Five for Life’, our graduates will have the mental and personal strength to flourish and go well in life.
They will be ‘future ready’.
