Harrow International School Hong Kong

Working at Harrow Hong Kong has been a learning experience for me, allowing me to grow both professionally and personally. As a teacher transitioning from Harrow International School Shanghai to Harrow International School Hong Kong, I experienced a smooth transition thanks to the supportive HR team and an efficient recruitment process. Everyone here is incredibly supportive, making me feel welcomed and valued. The community at Harrow Hong Kong is friendly and inclusive, with everyone working hard to provide the best for the pupils. This positive environment has made my move seamless and enjoyable, allowing me to focus on delivering excellent education and contributing to the school’s vibrant community.

I'm now in my eighth year at Harrow and it has been a real pleasure and a privilege to work here. The school community has always been one of the strongest aspects of the school. The children have always been a pleasure to teach, the parents have always been supportive and understanding and my colleagues have been excellent to work alongside. There have always been many opportunities to further professional development as the school and I feel lucky to have been given such opportunities.

It is such a privilege to be part of such a wonderful school community. Our pupils and staff are the most incredible people to work alongside on a daily basis and the things we strive for and achieve are quite formidable. The opportunities we get working at Harrow and living in Hong Kong are, in my opinion, a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I feel very lucky to be part of this fantastic organisation.

It is a great privilege to be part of the staff community at Harrow. From application, to interview, to arrival at Harrow Hong Kong, the existing members of staff were incredibly helpful, answering queries rapidly and offering assistance at all stages as I prepared to relocate to Hong Kong. Harrow Hong Kong is welcoming and committed to supporting each individual, so that they can reach their full potential and realise their professional goals. It places pupils at the heart of all it does and offers excellent professional development in an exciting and diverse environment. Working at Harrow means being part of a community of outstanding people, staff and pupils alike.

Working at Harrow Hong Kong has given me many opportunities to develop as a professional and to add to my skills. There is a strong focus on supporting pupils’ wellbeing and the school has provided training to help pastoral leaders and others who have expressed an interest in this area. There is a great atmosphere of sharing good practice and learning from each other. Working with the pupils here is also a real pleasure; they are highly motivated and show interest and enthusiasm in lessons.

The School is an impressive site, built up on a hill and I have been lucky enough to work in and help grow a thriving Science department. The students here are amazing and I have gone from a well established disciplinarian back in a state school in the UK to a true teacher, working with engaged and enthused students, who are willing to try new things and they encourage me to do the same.

The students here at Harrow Hong Kong are amazing. As learners they are creative, passionate, thoughtful and fun. I definitely have had more ‘transformative’ moments in the classroom here than in any other place that I have worked and I regularly feel inspired by the commitment and energy of the pupils that we teach. There is not a day that passes where I don’t feel privileged to be part of this vibrant school and to be living in this mesmerizing city.
