About this school
Harrow International School Appi Japan is a member of the Harrow family of international schools, linked to Harrow School in the UK, which was founded in 1572. Set in the mountains of Appi Kogen in Hachimantai, Iwate, it is a seven-day full-boarding school and the only Harrow-branded full-boarding school in Asia. It is part of the AISL group and recently held its first graduation ceremony.
Students aged 11 to 18 (Years 7–13) study in three phases: Prep (ages 11–13), Senior (13–16) and Sixth Form (16–18). The bespoke Harrow International Curriculum leads to IGCSE and A Level examinations, with a STEAM emphasis, and Japanese and Chinese are both taught; Japanese students can continue their native language to university-entrance level. Education rests on academics, enrichment and boarding, with learning and activities continuing in evenings and weekends.
The campus has seven boarding houses, the Miyazaki performing arts building, a sports centre with gym and Olympic-size pool, an Innovation Hub and a bilingual library. A large ski resort, a 36-hole golf course and 14 tennis courts are within walking distance, supporting academies in alpine sports, tennis, golf and mountain biking.
