Since its establishment in 1995, Chatsworth has played a critical role in empowering individuals through a well-rounded international education
Established in 1995, Chatsworth is a private K-12 international school in Singapore. It is the product of a British founding principal and teachers setting up the school in Upper Serangoon.
Over the past couple of decades, Chatsworth has had a presence in other parts of Singapore, providing a K-12 international education as well as a local kindergarten curriculum through Chatsworth Preschool (previously known as Chatsworth Kindergarten). In August 2018, Chatsworth International School moved to a permanent home in Bukit Timah, surrounded by Singapore’s only rainforest.
