Garden House School is a co-educational day independent school located in Chelsea in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England, consisting of two major preparatory schools, two pre-prep schools and a Kindergarten. The girls' and boys' schools are separately maintained within the same building, but share extra-curricular activities. Children are educated from the ages of three to eleven, but many boys transfer to other preparatory schools from the age of eight. Garden House School is reported to send a larger proportion of girls to leading boarding schools than other pre-preps in London. The school also has locations in the US, in New York's New York City and Briarcliff Manor.
The school shares its garden with the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and occupies the Cavalry House, part of the Duke of York's Headquarters on Turks Row, which is a Grade II Listed Building.
Garden House School was founded in 1951 by a former ballet teacher, Margery de Brissac Bernard, (1896-1994), as a single pre-preparatory school. It was based in Sloane Gardens and Pont Street in Chelsea. During the following twenty years, the school educated the children and grand-children of diplomats and Prime Ministers including Winston Churchill and Alec Douglas-Home. In 1973, a parent and teaching assistant, Mrs Jillian Oddy, took over the school, expanding its range to include a Kindergarten and two major pre-prep and prep schools, and by creating two new pre-schools in the United States, one in New York City and another in Briarcliff Manor, New York.
In 2004, the school moved into a single, purpose-designed building in the south side of the new Duke of York’s development. Boys and girls continued to be taught separately, but now shared the facilities of a single building.
