Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Chatsworth International School, established in 1995, started as a modest institution in Upper Serangoon. Over the years, Chatsworth has grown in both size and reputation, culminating in its integration into the Cognita group, a global network of schools, in 2019. The school relocated its main campus to Bukit Timah in 2018, which provides a more spacious and modern environment for its students.

Community

Chatsworth International School is a vibrant and inclusive community that values diversity, bringing together students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds. The school hosts various community and cultural events throughout the year, such as Spring Fair and international day, which provide opportunities for families to engage and celebrate different cultures.

Parent-Teacher Association

At Chatsworth International School, the Chatsworth Parent Group (CPG) (or Parent Teacher Association (PTA)as some schools term it) plays a vital role in fostering a sense of community among families, teachers, and staff. The CPG organizes a variety of events throughout the school year, including the annual Cultural Celebration Day, which celebrates the diverse cultural backgrounds of the school community. Regular coffee mornings provide parents with an informal setting to engage with school leadership and discuss educational topics. The CPG also coordinates volunteer activities, enabling parents to participate actively in school life and support classroom needs.
