The school is known for its commitment to academic excellence and for the way each student is supported through personal tutoring. Our mission statement of, ‘Leadership for a better world’ is supported through the skills students develop by studying our wide and varied curriculum and further evidenced through our co-curricular enrichment programmes.
Initially, the School opened to serve the needs of older students from the international community in Tianjing, to forge positive progression routes into top universities worldwide. The school has now developed into an ‘all through’ school which focusses on developing students with the necessary skills and attributes to allow them to be life-long learners and to take ownership of their progress from the Lower School through to the Upper School. The transition between the phases is supported by our strong pastoral and academic guidance. Students in the Upper School work toward earning a Harrow Tianjing Leadership Award that identifies individual achievements and leadership qualities additional to academic performance. English language support services are available for students who are working in English as an Additional Language.
Currently there are over 1200 students of 34 different nationalities, attending the School. The A-level programme is globally accepted, with 75 students enrolled in the two-year programme during the 2018-19 academic year, 29 of whom are in the leaving class. Students from Harrow Tianjing command places in top world universities, particularly in the United Kingdom and North America.
