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 UK and here you will find a school 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 Educational Excellence for Life and Leadership 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 a desire to make a positive difference in the world.
Please do come and visit us and see for yourself what makes Harrow Hong Kong so special.
A warm welcome awaits you.
