Harrow International School Hong Kong is committed to offering an all-round education, which develops leadership qualities and strong characters, as well as setting high academic standards and offering an extensive selection of extra-curricular activities.

On the public examination front, the school again celebrated another year of an excellent set of A-Level and GCSE results this year. Indeed, 67 per cent of all A-Level grades were A* or A, and 32 pupils achieved straight A*/A grades in all their subjects. 

The School’s Head Ann Haydon notes that this record of success obviously helps when applying to prestigious universities in the UK and elsewhere.  

As for the GCSE results achieved by the 87 pupils in Year 11, 83 per cent of all grades were A* or A.   

“We saw a fantastic set of results across all subjects,” says Haydon, highlighting in particular the performance of GCSE in Science, History and Spanish. “These achievements show our pupils are excelling in a range of subjects across the curriculum.”   

She adds that activities outside the classroom give pupils different types of experiences, broadening their horizons and teaching other essential skills. This summer, for instance, two overseas trips were organised. One saw 13 upper school pupils, accompanied by two teachers, volunteering to build a house with their bare hands, without the help of machines, for rural people in Kerala, in southwest India.
