Extracurricular

Holistic Education Programmes: Explore and Excel

Our extra-curricular activities are not mere ‘extras’. We refer to them as ‘extensions’ because we believe that valuable learning experiences extend beyond the classroom. hese activities assist students in broadening their horizons, embracing the spirit of adventure, and developing the six leadership traits associated with Harrow. Extended activities and clubs facilitate academic learning.

Extra-curricular programmes are categorised according to ability level, comprising co-curricular activities, elite sports teams and music academy. The school currently offers over 110 CCA programmes, as well as eight varsity sports teams and a music academy coached by musicians-in-residence. and organises the Gobi Challenge, Student Entrepreneurship and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, which help students to develop their talents.
