Introduction
Harrow International School Appi Japan, opened in 2022, occupies a beautiful campus located in Iwate Prefecture. It caters for full-boarding students aged 11-18, aiming to replicate the provision, standards and experiences provided by the esteemed Harrow School in the UK. Harrow Appi employs the British curriculum and is set to produce outstanding academic outcomes, which are competitive on a global level. [1]
The school has all that is required to excel in preparing students for higher education, offering a tailored educational approach and a diverse array of subject choices, including economics, computer science, art & design, accounting and media studies. In this way, Harrow Appi is a superb addition to the Harrow family, both challenging and engaging its students.
The co-curricular provision is just as exciting, featuring a rich selection of activities that maximise pupils’ learning. Ranging from photography, choir and coding to chess, astronomy and debating, the programme offers something for everyone, broadening students’ horizons in the effort to prepare them for the opportunities of the wider world. [2]
Harrow Appi’s House system completes the educational experience, with individual Houses hosting a number of events throughout the academic year. These events include Sports Days, Charity Events and Dance, Music and Sports Competitions, enhancing the healthy competitive quality of school life and promoting a spirit of community within each House.
School trivia: After classes, Harrow Appi offers additional supervised study sessions and focused academic support. Older students have the option to request tutoring in any of their IGCSE or A-Level subjects, and these extra lessons, provided by fully qualified teaching staff, are included in the boarding fee.
