Beijing, China. The bustling capital with so much to see, you couldn’t see it all even if you’ve lived here your whole life! Beijing is a bustling capital full of contrasts, where towering skyscrapers sit beside calming parks, riverside malls, green open spaces, and everything from Michelin-star dining to unforgettable street food.

I adjusted to life in Harrow Beijing with ease. Harrow’s inclusive, warm, and welcoming environment made me feel at home. The students’ curiosity and enthusiasm make teaching exciting, and the professional growth I have gained—from curriculum experience to learning from outstanding colleagues and leaders—has been immense. Beijing has truly become my home, and with such a vibrant city and excellent travel connections, I’ve never regretted my decision to move here.
