Garden House School is a co-educational day private school located in Chelsea in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England,[1] consisting of two major preparatory schools, two pre-prep schools and a Kindergarten.[1][2] The girls' and boys' schools are separately taught 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.[3] The school also has locations in the US, in New York State: the suburban village of Briarcliff Manor and New York City.

The school shares its garden with the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and occupies the Cavalry House,[4] part of the Duke of York's Headquarters on Turks Row,[5] which is a Grade II Listed Building.[6]
