Harrow International School Hong Kong opened in September 2012, becoming the first international Harrow-branded school in East Asia. It is part of Asia International School Limited (AISL), which operates Harrow-branded schools under a licence agreement with Harrow School in London. The school was purpose-built on its Tuen Mun site to accommodate both day and boarding students and follows the traditions and governance links of its UK counterpart.
The school community is built around the House system, which encourages pupils to form strong ties across year groups. Community events include concerts, drama productions, and inter-House competitions. Annual events such as “The Long Ducker,” a charity run originally begun at Harrow School in London, bring together students, staff, parents, and alumni.
The parent body is represented through Friends of Harrow (FoH), which serves as the school’s Parent Teacher Association. FoH organises community-building events such as the Harrow Fair, charity fundraising initiatives, and social gatherings for families. Parent Representatives and consultation groups also provide channels for communication with school leadership. FoH supports both cultural and social activities that strengthen links among parents, staff, and pupils.
Harrow International School Hong Kong educates pupils aged 3–18 on a coastal campus near the Gold Coast in Tuen Mun. The school follows the English EYFS in Early Years, the National Curriculum of England through Lower and Upper School, GCSE examinations in Year 11, and A Levels with the option of the EPQ in Sixth Form. Boarding is offered from Year 6 as a five-night programme. English is the language of instruction, with whole-school Language & Learning (EAL) support, and languages taught include Chinese (Mandarin), French and Spanish; Chinese begins in Year 1. Harrow Horizons and pupil-led societies provide extensive enrichment, spanning STEM (e.g., Engineering & Maths and VEX-IQ), performing arts productions, and community partnerships such as ‘Mother’s Choice’ and ‘Tutors for Change’. Facilities available to pupils include astro-turf, sports hall, tennis courts and swimming pool; productions have been staged in the Queen Elizabeth II Hall.
