About Charterhouse International Secondary School

Charterhouse International Secondary School opened in 2021, making it one of the newer British schools in Kuala Lumpur. The school carries the name and educational tradition of Charterhouse UK, a school established in London in 1611 by Thomas Sutton. That 400-year heritage informs the Malaysian campus’s approach to pastoral care and academic standards, though the two schools operate independently.

The campus in Sri Hartamas serves a compact student body with class sizes of 14 to 18 students. This smaller ratio allows for closer teacher-student interaction than is typical at larger international schools in the area. The school supports students from multiple language backgrounds, with dedicated support for Korean, Japanese, and Chinese speakers alongside the English-medium instruction.

Curriculum at Charterhouse International Secondary School

Charterhouse Malaysia focuses entirely on secondary and pre-university education, running from Year 9 through Year 13.

Years 9 to 11 (IGCSE): Students follow the Cambridge IGCSE programme, selecting subjects from the sciences, humanities, languages, and creative arts. The smaller class sizes mean teachers can adjust pacing to suit individual student needs rather than following a rigid whole-class schedule.

Years 12 to 13 (A-Levels): The sixth form offers Cambridge A-Level qualifications across a focused range of subjects. The A-Level Foundation year (RM 116,000) prepares students who need additional grounding before entering the full A-Level programme.
