We are proud to share that Harrow International School Shenzhen Qianhai, including all divisions—Early Years Centre (Forbes: Kindergarten), Pre-Prep School (Forbes: Primary School), Prep School (Forbes: Middle School), and Senior School & Sixth Form (Forbes: High School)—has once again been recognised in the 2025 Forbes China International Schools Annual Selection.
This marks five consecutive years of recognition, reaffirming our position as one of the leading international schools in the Greater Bay Area and across China.
The Forbes ranking is one of China’s most comprehensive and rigorous evaluations of international and bilingual schools. Over 3,000 schools were assessed across 40 key indicators, including academic outcomes, teaching quality, innovation, leadership development, and university recognition.
To be listed once again is not just an honour—it’s a reflection of our whole-school commitment to cultivating excellence at every stage of a student’s journey.
At Harrow Shenzhen, we believe that education is more than achieving top exam results. We are dedicated to developing well-rounded individuals—confident, compassionate, and principled leaders equipped for the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
In a world that’s evolving faster than ever, it’s deeply affirming to be recognised for our holistic approach to learning and leadership.
This recognition strengthens our resolve to deliver an education that empowers every student with the knowledge, values, and character to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society.
—— Mr. Daniel Berry
Head Master of Harrow Shenzhen
From the classroom to the stage, from academic competitions to student-led initiatives, Harrow Shenzhen offers a rich environment where students are encouraged to explore their passions, develop their talents, and lead with purpose. It is this spirit of curiosity, courage, and collaboration that defines the Harrow experience.
This accomplishment is the result of collective dedication—from our talented students and passionate teachers to our supportive parents and visionary leadership. Our shared commitment to the Harrow core values of Courage, Honour, Humility, and Fellowship continues to shape a community where every learner is challenged and inspired to become their best self.
This year holds special significance as Harrow Shenzhen’s founding cohort of 27 graduates completes their journey with us. Their achievements set a new benchmark for academic excellence in the region.
Collectively, they received over 200 offers from top-tier universities around the world—averaging nearly 7 offers per student—and earned more than RMB 2 million in scholarships.
This outstanding success is a testament to our unwavering commitment to academic rigour, personalised university guidance, and the belief that every student can achieve greatness with the right support and opportunity.
As we celebrate this latest milestone, our focus remains firmly on the future. Harrow Shenzhen is committed to preparing students for a globalised world—fostering intellectual curiosity, ethical leadership, and cultural fluency to ensure they are not only academically accomplished but also globally confident.
Harrow Shenzhen extends the warmest of welcomes to all prospective parents and pupils at its Open Events. You will have the chance to meet key staff, visit our outstanding facilities, interact with current pupils and see for yourselves just what makes our School so different.
