Curriculum

PREP (YEARS 6-8)

Academic life at Harrow Hong Kong encourages scholarship, intellectual curiosity, independent thought and effective learning habits. We offer a coherent and balanced curriculum, as well as a challenging and inspiring Super-Curriculum programme.

Pupils in the Prep School follow a curriculum that is designed to manage the transition from the Pre-Prep School (where the majority of the curriculum is taught by a Class Teacher) to a subject-specific approach in the Upper School. The aim is to foster a love of independent learning and promote the skills required to achieve very high academic standards in the Senior School, Sixth Form and beyond Harrow Hong Kong.

The following academic subjects are studied in an integrated timetable that combines academic, co-curricular and sport periods per fortnight:

SENIOR (YEARS 9-11)

The GCSE years are crucial to the build up to the Sixth Form and we make sure pupils are fully prepared and equipped.

The Senior School curriculum follows GCSE syllabi with examinations taken in Year 11. The academic subjects taught in the Year 9 curriculum are the same as those in the Prep School, although the Sciences are taught as separate subjects (Biology, Chemistry and Physics).

By the time pupils reach Year 10, they choose the subjects they wish to pursue for their GCSE examinations. The Senior School follows a mixture of different examination boards (AQA, CIE and Edexcel) and offers a variety of subject courses, including:

Core Subjects	Optional Subjects – pupils choose four from
English Language English Literature  Mathematics Biology Chemistry  Physics	Art Chinese (First Language) Chinese (Second Language) Chinese (Foreign Language) Computer Science Drama French Geography History Music Philosophy & Religious Studies Physical Education Spanish
