What Chatsworth International School does

Chatsworth International School (legal entity: Chatsworth International School Pte Ltd, Singapore PEI #199405288W) is a private K-13 international school established in 1995, operating from a single campus at 72 Bukit Tinggi Road, Singapore. The school delivers the full International Baccalaureate continuum through four sequenced programmes: International Kindergarten (K1-K2, ages 3-5) within the IB Primary Years framework; the IB Primary Years Programme (Years 1-6, ages 5-11); the IB Middle Years Programme (Years 7-11, ages 11-16); and the IB Diploma Programme (Years 12-13, ages 16-18), supplemented by a WASC-accredited Chatsworth High School Diploma. Student-facing academic reporting runs on the ManageBac portal, online applications are processed through OpenApply, and the school runs a 1:1 laptop programme from Years 3 to 13 accompanied by a K-12 Digital Citizenship curriculum.

The school is positioned as a non-selective, community-focused institution serving primarily expatriate and internationally mobile families in Singapore, with a student body drawn from approximately 55 nationalities and a faculty from over 20 nationalities. Class sizes are small (2:22 to 1:24 teacher-student ratios), co-curricular breadth runs to over 60 CCAs/ECAs across three seasons, and the school is governed by an experienced academic leadership team headed by Dr. Tyler Sherwood as Head of School, with dedicated Heads of Primary and Secondary. Accreditations and memberships include IB World School status for all three programmes, a six-year WASC accreditation, Singapore EduTrust certification (valid 30 June 2023 - 29 June 2027), CIS, EARCOS and ISTA memberships.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring tuition and fees across the four IB programmes, with ancillary recurring income from island-wide school-bus transportation (operated through Tong Tar Transport Service) and one-time revenue from school uniforms; supplementary programmes include a Summer School, over 60 CCAs/ECAs, university advising, a Service Learning programme, and IB Diploma Scholarships (including a 100% scholarship offering for deserving Years 12-13 applicants). Distribution is direct: prospective families engage through the campus website, campus tours and open houses before applying via OpenApply, with year-round enrolment support for mid-year relocations.
