International Kindergarten and Preschool

Welcome to Kindergarten
A Message from Head of Primary

At Chatsworth, we are a proud IB PYP school. The PYP is an inquiry based curriculum, placing students at the centre of their learning, with teachers being active mentors, facilitators and experts in the classroom. 

The PYP is an inquiry-based curriculum for students aged 3 to 11, thoughtfully designed to place your child at the very heart of their learning. Our dedicated teachers act as nurturing mentors, active facilitators, and experienced experts in the classroom, guiding each child's natural curiosity.

The international curriculum offered at Chatsworth encourages our kindergarten students to question, collaborate through play, solve problems creatively, and lead their own investigations, laying a robust foundation of essential lifelong learning skills within a caring and supportive school setting.

Chatsworth is highly regarded as a deeply caring international school that values building and nurturing positive relationships, where quality collaboration and communication are essential. Because of our hardworking teachers and the relationships that they build with the students and their families, children love to come to school each day, something that we do not take for granted.

I look forward to having you as part of the Chatsworth family
