History[]

Chatsworth International School opened in January 1995.[2] It is a product of a handful of teachers and students founding the school in Upper Serangoon. In 1998, Chatsworth moved to a centrally located campus off Orchard Road, the original home of the Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, which is designated as a heritage site. Chatsworth opened an international primary campus in the East in 2005. In August 2018, Chatsworth International School opened a permanent campus at Bukit Timah,[3] catering to students from Kindergarten to Year 13. The East Campus was closed in June 2018 and Orchard Campus in June 2020 as the land was returned to the local authorities.
