About Charlotte House Preparatory School
Home | About Share About Charlotte House Prep School is regarded as one of the finest schools in the area; an independent all-girls’ Nursery and Prep School, offering the very best education for girls aged 3-11.
Charlotte House Prep School was founded in 1931 by Miss Kitching. Originally known as the Rickmansworth PNEU, the school offered girls an all-round education based on the educational principles devised by Miss Charlotte Mason, the founder member of the PNEU movement. These principles were that education should be a positive extension from home life and that learning should be fun.
More than 90 years later, Charlotte House Prep School is regarded as one of the finest schools in the area; an all-girls’ prep school, offering the very best in Art, Literature, Music and Science, just as Miss Charlotte Mason would have wanted.
