Building on a 450-year tradition of academic excellence in the UK, AISL Harrow Schools is set to extend its network with the opening of a brand-new full-boarding school in Japan in August this year.
Located in the ski-resort area of Appi in Iwate Prefecture, the new campus will offer high-quality, holistic education for secondary students aged 11 to 18, providing a wide range of indoor and outdoor extracurricular activities in the green and white seasons and, in due course, paving the way to places at leading universities around the world.
