Primary School Teacher

Welcome to Harrow Shanghai! We are a prestigious international British curriculum school situated in one of the most vibrant cities globally.

We deliver an independent British international education from Early Years to Upper Sixth within a contemporary, purpose-built campus just 35 minutes from the city's core. Shanghai is a fantastic city, filled with dynamic experiences and a palpable sense of energy and ambition.

Established in September 2016, our school has rapidly evolved into one of China’s foremost international institutions. Working at Harrow is truly rewarding. Our students are engaged, ambitious, and diligent; their parents are highly supportive, and our staff form a committed and close-knit team. The sense of community here is exceptionally strong. Our pupils consistently achieve high results both academically and in extracurricular activities, gaining admission to some of the world's most competitive universities, including Oxbridge. In the past four years, our Upper Sixth graduates have averaged nearly 75% A*/A grades across all A Levels, and our IGCSE results are equally commendable, reflecting the progress made by our younger learners.

However, Harrow is not solely about academic excellence. Our students thrive in various areas including music, drama, sports, and the arts, while also engaging in service to the local community.
