Harrow International School, Bengaluru is the first of a series of Harrow Schools to open across India, in a collaboration between Harrow School, UK and Amity Education, a not-for-profit education foundation based in Delhi. The school was awarded the title of 'Best Emerging High Potential International School in India' in October 2023 by Education World, reflecting our ambition to become the leading international school in South Asia.  

A co-educational boarding and day school, Harrow Bengaluru will have capacity for over 1000 students, the majority of whom are boarders. In our founding year, a combined middle and senior school (Years 7 to 13) opened for pupils aged 11 to 18 in August 2023.

The school blends the Harrow Values of Courage, Honour, Humility and Fellowship with the vibrancy of modern India, offering an exceptional educational experience, characterised by world-class academic and extra-curricular opportunities. This, then, is a unique opportunity to play a role in the development of this new partnership and a new geography for the Harrow Family of Schools, with the support, resource and expertise of two leading educational brands.

Harrow Bengaluru offers students from Bengaluru, the region and throughout India the opportunity to experience a British-style curriculum, learning approach and environment, combining academic excellence with a wide range of extra-curricular activities within a superbly equipped, large, modern campus.

Our Facilities

The campus is located in Devanhalli, a new part of the city in the northern corridor, close to Bengaluru International Airport. It benefits from a wide range of outstanding facilities.

It includes 12,000 sq m of academic space, providing spacious, well-equipped classrooms and multiple break out spaces to encourage collaboration and independent learning. Ample space for the arts is provided through an extensive music wing which incorporates performance halls and numerous practice rooms, as well as multiple soundproofed teaching spaces. Further dedicated zones for fine art, sculpture, dance and drama have ensured that creativity is already thriving at Harrow Bengaluru.

The school also enjoys wonderful sports facilities, including an Olympic sized 50m swimming pool, a 4,500 sq m sports hall, a full-size FIFA standard astroturf football pitch and a 400m running track. A strong commitment to boarding is an important characteristic of the school, which is reflected in the outstandingly equipped boarding houses, each accommodating up to 70 students in en-suite single or twin study bedrooms. Each boarding house has its own dining room, library and numerous common spaces, helping to ensure a flourishing boarding community.

The Academic Curriculum

Harrow Bengaluru offers a British curriculum which broadly follows the National Curriculum for England, leading to IGCSE in Year 11 and A levels/IB Diploma in Years 12 and 13.

The curriculum recognises the value of a broad range of academic subjects. Students up to Year 9 take classes in English, Maths, Science, two Modern Languages, History, Geography, PSHE and PE. In addition, there are timetabled lessons in Drama, Art, Music and Dance, ensuring that each student benefits from a broad ranging introduction to different aspects of The Arts. IGCSE options include all of the subjects above (with Chemistry, Physics and Biology offered as separate courses) but also Economics, Business and Psychology.

In the sixth form, again, a broad range of options are offered, across the six IB Diploma subject areas and allowing a varied mix of A level choices. Offering both A levels and the IB Diploma has allowed us to build quickly a good-sized and vibrant sixth form, where the individual interests of each student can be fully satisfied.

Holistic Education

The extra-curricular programme at Harrow Bengaluru forms an integral part of the school day. This ensures that Harrow students recognize the importance of pursuits outside of their core academic programme and that they have the opportunity to develop and enjoy interests in sport, the creative arts, service, leadership and a variety of other activities.

Harrow’s commitment to ensuring every student engages in a holistic programme is deep seated and has helped to mark out the school as a place where students develop confidence, character and leadership skills, as they enthusiastically throw themselves into a range of activities which are the preserve of a minority elsewhere.

Boarding and Pastoral Care

A vibrant House system is at the heart of a comprehensive pastoral care framework, which supports the character development, mental wellbeing and resilience of students at Harrow Bengaluru. Both day students and boarders are members of an allocated house, allowing the creation of a strong sense of community and belonging in every pupil.

The majority of students board, in superbly equipped boarding houses, each of which has its own building within the school grounds. Facilities include single or double bedrooms, many with ensuite bathrooms, house dining rooms where all meals are served, residential homes for a houseparent, assistant houseparent and matron, as well as several common room areas and libraries.

Living in Bengaluru

Bengaluru is a cosmopolitan, progressive and well-developed city with a modern metro system and a lively dining and shopping scene. Known as "The Silicon Valley of India", on account of a high concentration of IT companies and a Californian style climate of pleasant summers and mild winters, Bengaluru lies at an altitude of 945m above sea level, at the centre of Southern India’s road and rail network. This makes it both an ideal starting point for exploration around the country as well as a popular home to many ex-pats. Whilst the city centre enjoys all the colour, noise and energy which one associates with major cities across India, our school campus, located to the North of the city centre, will benefit from the relative peace of its suburban location.
