In Brief
Harrow International School Hong Kong is a prestigious British boarding and day school serving 1,200 students aged 3-18 with strong Harrow heritage and traditional values. Founded in 2012 on a modern campus in Tuen Mun, it offers IGCSE and A-Levels with boarding from Year 6, though fees reach HKD 370,000+ annually for boarding students.
Established in 2012 as Hong Kong's first international boarding school, HISHK extends the 450-year legacy of London's Harrow School to Asia. The school operates from a distinctive crescent-shaped campus in Tuen Mun near Gold Coast, serving approximately 1,200 students from nursery through Year 13. Following the British curriculum through IGCSEs and A-Levels, it emphasizes Harrow's traditional values of Courage, Honour, Humility, and Fellowship while adapting to Hong Kong's multicultural environment.
The school distinguishes itself by offering boarding facilities from Year 6 onwards, unusual among Hong Kong international schools. Annual fees reflect its premium positioning, with sixth form day fees at HKD 239,070 and boarding adding another HKD 130,705. Teacher discussions on Reddit suggest mixed experiences regarding workload and management, though the school maintains its reputation within Hong Kong's competitive international education market. As part of the expanding AISL Harrow network across Asia, it benefits from connections to sister schools in Bangkok, Beijing, Shanghai, and newer campuses in Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
