Charterhouse Malaysia

62 Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Taman Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur Students benefit from a future-ready curriculum, backed by a 400-year British education heritage

Campus and facilities: Charterhouse Malaysia’s campus is based on the belief that learning no longer happens exclusively in the classroom. Its layout is inspired by the work of futurist David Thornburg, who identified four archetypal learning spaces that optimise learning and promote best outcomes—namely ‘the campfire’ (where students gather to listen to their teacher), ‘cave’ (quiet spaces for independent study and reflection), ‘watering hole’ (informal, social spaces where students can gather and exchange ideas) and finally, ‘mountain top’, areas like the auditorium and gallery spaces where students can publicly demonstrate their knowledge and understanding.

Competitive advantage: Charterhouse Malaysia is backed by a 400-year British education heritage, offering the Cambridge A-levels curriculum, taught in classes of no more than 12 students and designed to cultivate a future-ready mindset. Its curriculum strongly emphasises on independent study and research assignments, encourages collaboration and student leadership as well as the development of critical thinking, interpersonal skills and values through service and entrepreneurial learning. Through its Independent Learning Programme, students work on independent research projects aimed at solving a real-world problem that make for a strong university application; and learn to apply a Design Thinking approach widely used by scientists, inventors and innovators for problemsolving. Students will be trained to think critically through Spectra Smarts, an intelligence-based programme designed to develop all the human intelligences, including those that artificial intelligence (AI) cannot replicate such as social intelligence (people), metacognitive intelligence (thinking) and metacontextual intelligence (situations), in order to help them become more adaptable and employable individuals.

The Charterhouse Forum helps with students’ all-round development enabling them to explore opportunities to take leadership roles and in co-curricular activities.
