england: Charterhouse, in Surrey, describes itself as one of the great historic schools of England espousing sound Christian values . Established in 1611 on the site of a monastery, it has educated some of the giants of public life, including the poet Robert Graves, the broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby, and 200 years before him, the evangelical preacher John Wesley, according to The Guardian. The foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, is a former head boy. The disclosures come after ministers specifically warned private schools to undertake better due diligence over the sources of fee payments. Today, it welcomes children from around the world. Over the course of one summer, and three separate transactions, Charterhouse collected five years' worth of boarding fees. Among them, in 2010, was a boy with a Russian name whose family chose an unusual method of paying for his education.
