Welcome
| New Online learning opportunities with Harrow School, England |
David Smith Education is excited to have been appointed by Harrow School Online to help to introduce the programme to students across Asia, Africa and North America.
In the past, distance learning focused on non-traditional students like full-time workers, military personnel and non-residents or individuals in remote regions that are unable to attend classroom lectures. However, distance learning has become an established part of the educational world, with trends pointing to ongoing growth Harrow School Online has responded to this trend by launching a ‘virtual sixth form.
The Principal of Harrow School Online, Ms. Heather Rhodes, said the new venture has been set up to deliver the same kind of education as it is within the four walls of a classroom and cater to students in a “rapidly changing world”. Harrow School Online considers it a matter of necessity to bring the campaign to China considering that the Chinese students already enrolled in Harrow School are wonderful and the “life and soul of the community”.
Harrow School has spent more than 400 years building an understanding of excellence in education. Now Harrow School Online is taking this approach worldwide, building a community where international collaboration is part of the everyday curriculum and where pupils can access a world-leading education from their own homes.
A Warm Welcome from the Principal
At Harrow School, we have spent over 400 years building up an understanding of excellence in education. We have high expectations of our pupils and provide a supportive community of learning, creating conditions in which scholarship can flourish. We also recognise that the development of character is every bit as important as examination grades.
Harrow School Online takes this approach further. We’re building a school where our community of learning crosses continents, where international collaboration is part of the everyday curriculum, and where pupils can access a world-leading education from their own homes.
We recognise that the world we live in is changing rapidly and that education must adapt to the new challenges this presents. Our modern, online world is fast-paced, globally connected and personalised to reflect our interests. Education can be the same.
Harrow School Online offers a unique opportunity for bright girls and boys to develop their shared love of learning in a carefully designed, globally connected school. We give pupils the flexibility to study at a time and a pace that suits them, individualising their learning and structuring their timetable so their education fits around their lives. Our live lessons with small class sizes, one-to-one academic tutorials and regular life-coaching sessions provide students with personalised support and feedback, helping them manage their studies while developing a sense of purpose and the skills to navigate an unknown future.
Harrow School Online is setting out to revolutionise education. We’d love you to join us.

Key Benefits
Harrow School Online provides a quality of education and excellent career prospects that makes it an exciting and rewarding programme for students who wish to study remotely.
Individualisation: Pupils follow an individual learning pathway, working through self-study materials at a pace that suits them and studying in small classes with lessons carefully tailored to their needs. Every student is seen and heard, and no one is left behind.
Participation: In the self-study aspect of the courses, there are more opportunities for pupils to participate and respond to content than in a traditional face-to-face environment, and more time to reflect on topics and give deeper thought to responses.
Global networks: Pupils work alongside peers from across the globe, broadening their understanding of different cultures and building an international network of friends.
Visibility for parents: Parents have unprecedented visibility into their children’s education, with real time access to their performance in their studies.
Flexibility: Online courses allow pupils to build their own unique schedules, teaching them how to balance study and work with other commitments.
The promotion of self-discipline: Harrow School Online supports students to become better independent learners and to develop strong self-discipline skills, which is invaluable preparation for university.
Accessibility: Online learning provides the opportunity for self-paced study away from the distractions of the physical classroom, providing an environment in which a broad range of students can thrive.
Engagement with teachers is essential for success. Expert online teachers have additional skills: coaching and motivating pupils, analysing pupil progress data and using it to tailor their teaching, communicating with resonance in an online environment.
It is a unique opportunity for bright girls and boys to develop their shared love of learning in a globally connected school. For more information, please contact Dr David Smith at davidsmitheducation@btinternet.com who can support you with your enquiry and application.
