Charterhouse Square School is an independent, non-selective, co-educational day school with 250 children aged 3 to 11, situated in the Barbican area of the City of London. It occupies a five-story Victorian building overlooking Charterhouse Square near what used to be a Carthusian monastery. The school was founded by Jamie Malden in 1985 with 23 children.

Charterhouse Square is a member of Cognita Schools, an association of independent schools in UK and overseas. It is not connected with Charterhouse School, a public boarding school which was founded near the square before moving to its current location in Godalming, Surrey.
