Harrow International School Hong Kong is a British all through school in Hong Kong, teaching from the Early Years to Year 13 on a purpose built campus in Tuen Mun. Opened in 2012, it follows the English independent school model, with a house system, weekly boarding and the academic spine of the British curriculum running from nursery through to A Levels. It was the first British boarding school established in the city, which still sets it apart from the day campuses around it.

Curriculum and academics
Harrow follows the British curriculum in full, from the Early Years Foundation Stage through the Key Stages to IGCSE in the middle school and A Levels in the sixth form. That is the established route into UK universities, and a widely recognised path to institutions across North America, Europe and Asia. Pupils typically take a focused set of A Level subjects, supported by a careers and university guidance programme aimed at competitive entry.
Around this academic core sits the wider Harrow programme: the house system, leadership and service, and a deep co curricular offer in sport, music, drama and the arts that extends into evenings and weekends, particularly for boarders. The school reports consistently strong IGCSE and A Level outcomes, in line with the demands of a selective British independent school.

Harrow International School Hong Kong fees
Harrow International School Hong Kong sits in the premium band of the city market. Our Hong Kong international school fees guide places premium tuition broadly in the HKD 240,000 to 310,000 a year range, and Harrow's day fees fall inside that picture, rising by year group toward A Level.
Boarding is charged on top of day tuition, so for boarding families Harrow is among the higher total commitments in Hong Kong. Add the usual extras, a registration fee, a refundable deposit and a capital levy or debenture, and the fees guide will help you model the full annual cost before you apply.
Admissions
Entry is assessed by year group, with day and boarding places considered separately and weekly boarding available from Year 6. The school is selective, and popular year groups and the senior boarding houses fill early, so families should register interest well ahead of their intended start.
Confirm the current application window, assessment expectations and boarding arrangements directly with the school, and clarify the capital contribution Harrow asks alongside tuition. A campus visit to Tuen Mun is the clearest way to judge whether the day or boarding route fits your child.
Location and who goes there
The school occupies a self contained, purpose built campus in Tuen Mun, near the Gold Coast in the New Territories. The setting, away from the island's dense centre, gives Harrow the space for boarding houses, full size sports facilities and grounds that are unusual in Hong Kong, while day families across the harbour should factor in the commute.
Its community blends British and broader international families with local households drawn to the boarding model and the Harrow name, and the weekly boarding option appeals to families who travel or live further out.
