The Chatteris Educational Foundation is a registered non-profit charitable organisation that was founded in Hong Kong in 1990.  

Its primary goals are:

• To help Hong Kong students improve their English
• To develop young leaders with a global vision
• To promote cultural exchange and global awareness

Chatteris works in partnership with schools in Hong Kong to sponsor recent graduates from native-English-speaking countries around the world to work with local students. Accepted candidates are placed in schools throughout Hong Kong to teach English as a global language and experience a year of professional and personal development. Candidates with native-speaking English competency will also be considered.

Chatteris International Graduate Programme Update

The 2012 -2013 CNET programme year with Chatteris is coming to an end. It has been a great year full of great lessons and events in Hong Kong schools, Chatteris cultural and social activities, sports events, traveling Asia, exploring Hong Kong and much much more! CNETs are currently busy preparing events at their schools before they say their goodbyes. To see some videos of the year’s highlight events click here

Every year Chatteris asks departing CNETs to leave messages for future CNETs:

‘Chatteris has been a great graduate experience.  The learning curve is steep, but once you get there after the first month or two, everything falls into place and you can really start making a difference in your school and throughout Hong Kong.  Go for everything.  Don't spend your evenings sitting on your sofa.  Set up a life for yourself here even if it's only for a year.  Branch out and meet all sorts of people.  The goodbyes will be a lot harder, but the memories will be that much better.’
Laura (USA)

‘Has been a fantastic year that initially I did not think would be as rewarding as it has been. You really need to just throw yourself into everything Chatteris has to offer and you will get so much from the great experience!’
Sophie (UK)
