Introduction

Harrow International School Dubai brings four centuries of British educational heritage to the UAE, offering the National Curriculum for England enriched by a distinct Super-Curriculum. Opening in August 2026, the campus initially welcomes pupils from FS1 to Year 8, with a phased expansion up to Year 13. Central to the school’s daily life is its traditional House system, creating a close-knit, family-like community that fosters mentorship across age groups and spirited competition in sports, music, and drama. The academic framework extends beyond standard subjects through an Electives Programme of university-style seminars and scholarly research projects. Pupils work toward the Harrow Diploma, a unique credits-based qualification recognizing personal growth and active engagement. Additionally, dining is a compulsory, communal experience in partnership with Leela’s Lunches, reflecting the school’s core value of Fellowship. The curriculum is firmly rooted in building character, equipping students for entry into top-tier universities.
