Charterhouse School

Charterhouse School, founded in London in 1611 and relocated to Godalming, Surrey, in 1872, is one of England's most historically distinguished and academically respected boarding schools. Educating approximately 800 students aged 13 to 18 in a co-educational Sixth Form, Charterhouse offers GCSE and A-Level programmes in a full boarding environment. The school is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Charterhouse occupies a magnificent 250-acre hilltop campus in the Surrey hills with exceptional facilities, including a sports complex, swimming pool, arts centre, and dedicated music school. The school has an extraordinary musical heritage: alumni include Ralph Vaughan Williams, and today's music programme is consistently ranked among the finest of any school. Notable alumni also include William Makepeace Thackeray, Peter Gabriel, and numerous others in the arts, politics, and sciences. The school draws students from across England and over 35 countries. Charterhouse's combination of historical prestige, academic rigour, extraordinary musical tradition, and beautiful Surrey setting continues to attract families seeking one of England's finest boarding school educations.
