Set amongst the mountains of Appi Kogen, Iwate Prefecture, Harrow International School Appi Japan is a one-of-a-kind educational offering in Asia – a place where world-class education combines with a full boarding experience in stunning Japanese nature.

Harrow Appi welcomes students aged 11 to 18 (Year 7 to 13), offering a full boarding education and mirrors the traditions of Harrow School in the UK. Aligned with Harrow’s esteemed British international curriculum, we provide a 24/7 distraction-free learning environment to allow our students to achieve exceptional academic outcomes and access the world’s top universities.

Our students’ learning is not limited to the classroom. Complementing our academic prowess is an extensive co-curricular programme that cultivates talents in nature whether this be in sports, creative arts, community service leadership or even within one of our focused academies of alpine sports, tennis, golf and mountain biking.

The holistic development of young students always requires excellent professional support. As a full boarding school, each student belongs to a ‘house’ where each individual is guided and supported by experts. Whether it’s a House Master/Mistress or academic staff, all students will be known and be championed through 360° personalised care.

Harrow Appi is truly a unique school where students will have once on a lifetime experience to be well-prepared for their future success with a passion for learning, transferable skills and lifelong friendships that will support their personal and professional life.
