Welcome to Harrow Beijing Upper School!

We offer a diverse and enriching educational pathway, which has a strong focus on academic excellence underpinned by outstanding pastoral care to ensure all of our students fulfil their potential.

Harrow Beijing Upper School is a vibrant and energetic community, where everyone is encouraged and supported to be bold, to be challenged, and to be given every opportunity to live and embody the Harrow core values of Courage, Honour, Humility and Fellowship.

Students begin their Upper School journey in the Prep Phase (Years 6 - 8), where they follow an innovative and enhanced curriculum, which is broad and balanced and promotes collaborative inquiry and is reflective of our very unique and special context within the world class city of Beijing. As they progress through the school, they have the opportunity to study a range of IGCSE subjects which eventually leads onto A Level study in the Sixth Form, which is the gold standard globally for entrance to the world’s leading universities.

Throughout their academic journey, students are able to develop an impressive portfolio of activities through sports, the arts, academic competitions, and philanthropic work for which the Harrow name is synonymous. As a Harrovian, all students will have access to world class teaching and learning opportunities, which will offer them a unique global perspective proudly rooted in China.
