A Full-boarding School

Harrow School was founded in 1572 under a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth I. It is located in a leafy 300-acre estate, encompassing much of Harrow on the Hill in north-west London. As stewards of many cherished traditions, today’s Harrovians follow in the footsteps of The Giants of Old, united by strength of character, lasting friendships and the desire to be of good influence.

University Destinations

Nearly all Harrovians move on to university on completion of their A-levels. Many boys progress directly to university, while others choose to have a gap year first.

The range of Harrovians’ university destinations is becoming broader, both in terms of UK institutions and courses, and overseas applications arising from their increasingly global perspective. American universities, in particular, continue to feature prominently, with many boys attracted by the Liberal Arts model and the high quality and range of campus facilities on offer. An increasing number of boys are applying to European universities alongside UK and US institutions. More distant destinations such as Hong Kong, Australia and Canada remain popular. No matter the country or the institution, what is certainly true is that Harrovians routinely progress into higher education that ranks among the best the world.
