Welcome to Harrow International School Hong Kong. As you explore our website, You will get a sense of our vibrant, progressive and empowering school. We are proud of our impressive building, stunning facilities, and especially the palpable sense of purpose amongst every pupil and member of staff. Our exceptional examination results and university outcomes mean that Harrow Hong Kong is one of the leading Schools in Asia.
Founded in 2012 as part of the Harrow Family of Schools there is a unique thread which binds our schools together. A Harrow Hong Kong education is based on the same ethos and identity which characterises a Harrow education in the U.K. and is a place where we fuse the best of Western and Eastern traditions.
Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. Just like you, we believe that the happiness and success of your child are key foundations upon which their future is built; that is why we are a school where every child is valued, every child is encouraged to give their very best, and every child has the chance to grow in confidence by participating in a wide range of inspirational learning experiences.
We pride ourselves on being an extraordinary community where people matter, results count and where a passion for excellence drives everything we do. We are committed to offering a real breadth of education. We feed our pupils’ minds, but we also care passionately about their character development and happiness.
Our outstanding staff are dedicated to delivering a rich curriculum and programme of activities which challenge our pupils to explore ideas for themselves. Whether engaged in learning in the classroom, or through musical, artistic, sporting, enterprising or charitable activities, our pupils are encouraged to connect with their local, national and international communities and to have a desire to do good. Indeed, the School’s vision statement Leadership for a better world focuses on aiming high, excellent service, and character education, which means that our pupils are prepared for life in the 21st century.
Our approach to education means that Harrow Hong Kong pupils achieve top examination results, and develop into compassionate young people with strong values, who have desire to make a positive difference in the world.
The School’s vision is for students at Harrow Hong Kong to develop the motivation, skills and determination to make a positive difference to the world in which they live through leadership in a variety of forms; leading from the front; being an effective team player; and being a positive role model.
Leadership, of course, is a very Harrovian quality and some of the great Old Harrovians such as Winston Churchill, Nehru and King Hussein of Jordan are renowned for providing profound leadership at significant points in modern history. The School defines leadership as making a positive difference through people and strongly believes that leaders are not necessarily born, but they can be made. Leadership for a better world aims to equip and challenge Harrow Hong Kong students to use their knowledge, skills and talents to make life better for other people in their community and the wider world through developing six identified key leadership attributes:
The School’s mission is to promote the Leadership for a better world attributes through an outstanding education that, in an age-appropriate way from the Early Years to the Senior School, blends elements of philosophy, practice and tradition from Harrow School with an awareness of the cultural context of Hong Kong and the needs of its international community. While inextricably linked together, the key characteristics are:
High levels of academic achievement with significant value-added academic performance that culminate, in the Senior School, in first-rate public examination results and entry to top universities across the world.
A diverse, high quality Leadership in Action programme that inspires commitment a desire for excellence and a breadth of activities. Distinctively, it includes an extra-curricular activities (ECA) programme that is integrated into the School timetable for all students, supported by opportunities for further enrichment outside the timetable.
High quality pastoral care that, with a strong boarding ethos and House system at its heart, promotes an inclusive School community in which its members feel happy, secure and valued, and that places emphasis on the personal formation of character of each student. Supporting this, a bespoke personal, social and health education programme that, in an age-appropriate way, encourages the development of resilient students, who adopt a positive, solution-focussed approach to any challenge.
Harrow Hong Kong aims to embed opportunities for each student to acquire the Leadership for a better world attributes in all aspects of its life, including the types of learning experiences that teachers prepare for students in the classroom, the academic curriculum itself, the Leadership in Action programme, and opportunities to take on leadership roles within and outside the School community.

Our son just accepted the offer to attend Harrow. So while we cannot comment yet on the quality of education received, we have been thus far very pleased with their highly prompt, professional, and considerate service. Mr. Leon Li has especially stood out with his warm and welcoming manner.

In my opinion this is one of the best schools in the world and I don’t know why people don’t think so to. All the teachers genuinely care about the students and the atmosphere is very good. From shows to concerts, the school has it all. The prep school houses always provide support and everyone is made to feel at home.

This is an academic, co-educational international school based on the British curriculum with a strong Arts, Music, Drama, and Sports departments in Hong Kong. It has a dynamic and progressive Head, enthusiastic, engaged and supportive teachers, and a diverse student body. The facilities are very good and its really worth taking the time and effort to go and visit the school (the admissions office is super helpful). You can also get a good feel of the school by looking at the Harrow School Facebook and Harrow School Sport Instagram pages. We are very happy with the school and have two daughters who started at the school from its opening and they now weekly board. We would strongly recommend the school.

As a new parent to the school, one child in year 10 and the other year 6, I am extremely pleased with the level of communication to parents. My children are in fabulous house groups that are supportive and encouraging. My children are pushed academically with a balanced sport program led by an incredible team of coaches. Definitely a successful school choice for us.

It’s really a magnificent school in HK, large space and new facilities with good infrastructure set up only 7/8 years ago. Boarding is definitely a great feather for us and looking forward to learning more heritage from this school
