HEAD MASTER’S WELCOME

Dear Parents,

A very warm welcome to Harrow International School Shanghai.

As both a Head Master and a parent, I understand that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions a family will make. Every parent wants their child to be happy, successful and well-prepared for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Finding a school that nurtures both academic achievement and personal growth is therefore a significant and deeply personal choice.

At Harrow Shanghai, we are committed to helping every child succeed through an ambitious and inspiring education. We believe that young people thrive when they are challenged, supported and encouraged to develop a genuine love of learning. Our curriculum is designed to stretch each pupil academically, fostering intellectual curiosity, resilience and the confidence to embrace new opportunities. This preparation for outstanding university choices and the world beyond is a core aim for our exceptional staff. At the same time, we place great importance on developing the character, skills and values that will enable our pupils to flourish in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.

Whether you have attended one of our Open Days or visited us for a personal tour, I hope you have already experienced the warmth, energy and sense of purpose that define our community. Harrow Shanghai is a school where pupils are known as individuals, where excellence is celebrated in all its forms, and where strong relationships between pupils, staff and families create an environment in which children can truly thrive.

We recognise that every family is different, and our Admissions team is always available to offer guidance, answer questions and support you throughout the application process.
