Harrow International School Beijing

Harrow International School Beijing (北京哈罗英国学校) is a private school for children of foreign personnel located in Chaoyang, Beijing.

Harrow Beijing is a coeducational day school that initially taught pupils from age 11, unlike its namesake in the United Kingdom, which only teaches boys and begins instruction when its students are 13.

History

Harrow Beijing opened in 2005. It was the second British-style public school to open in China, after Dulwich College, which had opened a branch in Shanghai in 2004 and a branch in Beijing in 2005. It was the second international Harrow school to open, after Harrow International School, Bangkok. As of 2 December 2006 Harrow Beijing had 150 students.

In 2022, due to changes in Chinese laws, the school will rename itself as the "Lide" School (北京市朝阳区礼德学校).
