About Harrow International School Shanghai
Harrow Shanghai is a day and boarding school for students aged 2-18. Pre-Nursery to Year 10 opened in August 2016 on the newly-developed Sunland project in the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, thirty minutes from the centre of Shanghai. Boarding is a crucial element in the life of all Harrow schools and Shanghai is no different. Boarding is expected to be available at Harrow Shanghai in late 2017.
