Chatsworth International School offers three IB programmes: Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). The school serves students aged 3 to 18, from Kindergarten through Year 13. Learning is inquiry-driven and holistic, with small class sizes that support individual student growth. The school's campus is located at 72 Bukit Tinggi Road, Singapore 289760.
The Arts are core offerings, including Visual Art, Drama, and Music. Students participate in Arts Nights, IN Art exhibitions, and the IB Diploma Visual Arts Exhibition. Facilities such as drama rooms, music rooms, and a main hall support performances and exhibitions. Arts learning is integrated across IB programmes, with opportunities to perform and display work.
English is the language of instruction, and students study two languages. In Primary, Mandarin is introduced early (Kindergarten 1), with Mandarin and French in Kindergarten 2; Years 1–6 have three language lessons per week in Mandarin, French, or English as an Additional Language (EAL). In Secondary, the Mother Tongue Programme runs with external tutors and supports IB language pathways; there are language pathways in the DP such as English A, French B, Mandarin B, and Spanish Ab Initio. The school also offers bilingual pathways and related diploma opportunities through SSST (School Supported Self-Taught) in language A and related options.
Chatsworth has a House System with three Houses: Changi, Sentosa, and Raffles, which promotes school spirit and belonging. The Student Council provides a voice for students with elected representatives. Before- and after-school CCAs and team-based activities are offered, and athletics and the arts are active components of student life through ACSIS competitions and school-based programmes.
Service Learning is a fundamental element of the school's holistic education, aimed at developing caring global citizens who address real community needs. Service extends beyond the classroom and involves community partners and projects, with groups in the MYP and CAS requirements in the DP. Examples include partnerships with organisations such as Food Bank Singapore, reflecting the school's commitment to community impact.
The House System and Student Leadership provide leadership opportunities across primary and secondary levels. The Student Council offers student representation and leadership roles, with elections held toward the end of the school year. The school emphasizes developing principled, balanced, globally minded communicators and thinkers as part of its Schoolwide Learner Outcomes.
