About Us

Harrow Family of Schools

Harrow Dubai is a member of the Harrow Family of Schools, along with:

Harrow School

John Lyon School

Harrow International School
Bengaluru

AISL Harrow Schools

Harrow School
New York


Their connection stems from the original charitable intentions of John Lyon, the founder of Harrow School.

Harrow International School Dubai marks the beginning of a landmark partnership between Harrow School in the UK and Taaleem, bringing together Harrow’s 450-year tradition of academic excellence with Taaleem’s proven dedication to delivering the highest standards of education across the UAE.


As a member of the Harrow Family of Schools, Harrow International School Dubai is part of a connected global community, offering pupils and staff meaningful opportunities for collaboration and shared experience.

This connection brings a number of important benefits:

  • Sharing best practice across Harrow schools, ensuring continuous improvement in teaching, learning and pastoral care.
  • Joint celebrations and milestones, including recent commemorations of the 450th anniversary of Harrow School.
  • Pupil engagement opportunities, such as international events, competitions and collaborative projects, including contributions to a shared creative writing anthology.
  • Staff recruitment and development, with the active involvement of Harrow School in the appointment and induction of senior leaders and teachers across Harrow-branded schools.
  • A shared heritage of values and traditions, drawing on over 450 years of educational excellence since Harrow School’s foundation by charter of Elizabeth I in 1572.

Through these connections, Harrow Dubai combines the strength of a global network with the character and ambition of a leading school in its own right.
