A new school year is about to begin
— and for some families,
it is also time to make an important decision
about their child’s next chapter.
Admissions for
the 2026–2027 academic year
at Harrow Shenzhen
are now officially open.
Located in Qianhai, Harrow Shenzhen
is a British boarding and day school
for students aged 2 to18, offering a continuous educational journey from
the early years through to IGCSE and A Level.
But what does that actually mean
for your child?
At Harrow Shenzhen, academic ambition sits alongside character, confidence and a genuine sense of community.
Our students follow a clear British academic pathway, with the challenge and support they need to make strong progress. At the same time, they are encouraged to ask questions, think independently, try new things and discover their own strengths.
We want students to achieve highly — but we also want them to become well-rounded young people who are comfortable being themselves.
Harrow Shenzhen is part of the global Harrow family of schools, bringing more than 450 years of educational heritage into one of Shenzhen’s most modern and international communities.
Our four Harrow Values — Courage, Honour, Humility and Fellowship — are not simply words on a wall. They are part of how we encourage students to treat others, face challenges and contribute to the community around them. 
Our 14,700-square-metre purpose-built campus gives students space to learn, play, perform, compete and simply be part of school life.
From specialist classrooms and libraries to sports facilities, performing arts spaces and boarding accommodation, the environment is designed to support both academic achievement and life beyond the classroom.
And perhaps most importantly, we want our students to feel that they belong here.
