One of England's great public schools, founded in 1572. Full boarding for 830 boys on a historic hilltop campus in North London. Alumni include Winston Churchill, Lord Byron and Jawaharlal Nehru.
The Catch — Honest Parent Note
The hilltop fortress of tradition. Boys only. The catch: Full boarding only—no day students. The 'Harrow Straw Hat' culture is iconic but can feel very 'old-world' and insular to modern expat families.
Fees include 20% VAT (2025/2026). Day vs boarding fees may differ. Confirm with admissions.
