Harrow International School

Harrow School is one of the world’s most respected schools.  I. Over the following 450 years, it has developed a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence, an extensive programme of holistic education and outstanding pastoral care. This is based around a House system, which is designed to foster a sense of belonging and to ensure each student is known and cared for individually. Amongst the School’s alumni are some of the most influential figures in world history, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Sir Winston Churchill, Lord Byron, King Hussein and Lord Rayleigh, and also great literary figures such as Anthony Trollope and John Galsworthy. The School has educated a host of Nobel Laureates as well as numerous leading figures in the arts, the sciences and the world of sport. Harrow has also built-up long-established traditions in its 450-year history. These include its distinctive terminology and School dress (particularly the Harrow Hat), as well as the communal singing of Harrow Songs and Long Ducker, Harrow’s annual charity-fundraising sports event. Harrow’s distinguished history will enrich the daily life of our entire community in Bengaluru. These customs will help to develop a strong corporate spirit and a sense of belonging to something bigger than oneself.

Harrow International School Bengaluru’s vision is for our students to achieve not only outstanding academic results, but also to develop the character qualities and leadership skills to make a positive difference to the world in which they live.

Our students are encouraged to be creative and intellectually curious, to approach new opportunities with confidence and to learn to think for themselves, while being mindful of the needs and views of others.

They are encouraged towards this goal through a sense of inclusion and kindness derived from a strong house system which ensures that everyone, whether a boarder or a day student, feels fully at home and well supported in school.

Opportunities abound, thanks not only to outstanding facilities and an extraordinary range of activities, but also to the dedication of our staff, who are committed to their students’ learning and growth, both within and beyond the classroom.

The development of leadership qualities is central to a Harrow education. Some of the great Old Harrovians, such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Winston Churchill and King Hussein of Jordan, are renowned for providing profound leadership at significant points in modern history. We aim to equip and challenge Harrow Bengaluru students to use their knowledge, skills and talents to make life better for other people in their community and the wider world.
