behind this constant success?

Foundation of Excellence

Paves the Way to the Top

Once again, AISL Harrow Schools

have proven themselves to be top achievers

with schools continuing their legacy of excellence and

some schools welcoming first cohorts delivering outstanding results.

This reflects Harrow’s global education standards that are implemented rigorously across all campuses.

It also reassures our community of the university admission prospects for our new school – AISL Harrow Guangzhou, opening in September this year.

Nurture Globally Competitive

Talents for the Future

AISL Group has been a leading education provider in Asia for nearly 30 years, nurturing young minds that remain competitive globally in the future.

AISL Harrow’s commitment to our core values and excellence, and our forward-thinking approach brings global trends and insights about the changing talent landscape into our holistic education.

Personalised Educational Pathways

Widely Recognised by Worldwide Universities

With its academic depth and flexibility, the British A Levels qualification is a “Golden Ticket” recognised by universities worldwide.

At AISL Harrow, we provide personalised university counselling and closely engage with parents during the entire student’s university application process. From subject selection and activity planning to personal statement polishing and interview practice, students are guided every step of the way to secure a spot at their dream universities, whether in the UK, the US, Asia or Australia. Take US undergraduate applications as an example:

Iris Cheung

Associate Director of Education, AISL Group

Certificate in School Management and Leadership, Harvard University, Member of the Cambridge International Education Board for University Guidance

“US universities favour the academic rigour of A Levels, as much of the curriculum aligns with first-year university courses, highlighting students’ strong academic ability for higher-level study. US universities grant academic credit for IGCSE and A Level qualifications, enabling students to complete core requirements earlier and explore majors or other areas of interest more freely. At AISL Harrow, successful applications start with the student at the centre, aligning strengths, interests, and pace of development within a clear, actionable plan.”

A Cradle for Diverse Disciplines,

Nurturing AI-proof Unique Personal Strengths

Under Harrow’s holistic education, students are encouraged to explore their potential and showcase their talents through various opportunities. Combined with the academic depth of the A Level programme, this allows each student to gain a unique competitive strength through personalised development. As a result, AISL Harrow Schools have landed offers from prestigious universities across a wide range of disciplines, from business, science and engineering to art and music over the years.

Jacky L.

Harrow International School Shenzhen’s Class of 2026

Mathematics; offers from: University of Michigan Ann Arbor (Top 20 in the US; Public Ivy), University of Southern California (Top 28 in the US), etc.

“HIS Shenzhen has been incredibly supportive in helping me navigating both my academic strengths and my personal interests. Beyond the classroom, mentorship and university counselling helped me reflect on who I am and what I value, and I came to understand how my passion could be transformed into a career. Harrow didn’t push me forward to a predetermined path – it gave me the tools and confidence to do it my way.”

Harrow Values as a Lifelong

Personal & Professional Asset

With university admissions growing more competitive each year, a student’s character has become key to securing an offer from a prestigious institution. The values and leadership attributes inculcated in a Harrovian from a young age will serve not only as an asset for university application, but also as a fertile foundation that anchors their lifelong growth.

Harrow Beijing’s Class of 2026

Biomedical Sciences, Applied Medical Sciences; offers from: UCL, King’s College London

“My participation in the Model United Nations (MUN) at Harrow Beijing allowed me to develop skills like diplomacy, managing disagreement, and guiding discussion towards meaningful outcomes. As Head Boy, I was trusted with various leadership opportunities, such as organising large-scale projects like the Harrow Ball. What stood out to me most about leadership was that it was never defined by the title, but by responsibility and service. Together, these experiences shaped my leadership style and played a critical role in my university applications by demonstrating initiative, communication skills, and an ability to lead thoughtfully in diverse settings.”
