Throughout their time at Charter, students will be given the opportunity to experience learning outside of school. As they get older, these involve residential trips.

Alongside excellent teaching in the classroom, we give students real-world opportunities to encourage leadership and prepare them for life beyond. These overnight visits take students out of their comfortable environments and challenge them to push boundaries.

Developing independence is an important part of growing up. Through shared experiences outside of the classroom, students’ values and attitudes are challenged and shaped. These trips often give students the strongest memories of their time in school. The feeling of pride in overcoming a challenge is one that remains with them forever! They help cement friendships and contribute to the positive, caring and dynamic environment in which our students flourish.

Each trip has a different core focus, designed to enhance the academic curriculum and provide opportunities for personal and social development. The trips include opportunities to participate in activities which are not available in school. The trips become more challenging as students get older and their levels of independence increase.

We have many years of experience guiding students in their successful applications to some of the world’s most prestigious universities. Our Guidance team has a first-class understanding of the student journey through secondary school and onto university and careers and what it takes to realise their ambitions.

Students leave us and study all over the world. We have alumni studying here in Thailand at places like Chula, but also at Yonsei and Seoul National in Korea, UBC in Canada and a wide range of Russell Group universities in the UK. See the full list here. Wherever they want to go in the world, whatever it is they want to study we are here to help them realise that goal.

Wherever they want to go and no matter what each student has set their heart on studying we will help them realise their dreams. This is the key to our success! We are able to give individual advice to students so that they are ready to write amazing applications and are fully prepared for interviews. A key phrase we like to use is 𝄰BestForMe. It is about each student finding the right university and the right course for them, no matter where that may be. This student-centred process takes into account every student’s unique combination of goals, needs and interests to identify and helps them build a plan for the next step in their journey.

Guidance starts in Year 9 as students think about their IGCSE options and then builds slowly so that by the time they come to their final year they have the right balance of skills, interests and experiences to allow them to fulfil their dreams. Being ready to apply for university is not a process that can be rushed. Developing critical thinking skills, being inquisitive in their learning, proactive when they experience difficulties and taking part in a range of after-school activities all help to build a profile that the top universities, wherever they may be in the world, value.

We understand that university decisions are often taken as a family and that you, the parents pllay a vital role in supporting your children’s university ambitions. We schedule regular presentations to ensure that they understand the options and requirements involved in the university application process. In addition, we would encourage you to attend university fairs and, if you wish, arrange appointments to speak to our university counsellors.
