香港哈羅是香港唯一一所可寄宿的國際學校
有「首相搖籃」之稱的英國貴族學校哈羅國際學校,二○一二年正式登陸本港,9月開業,目前約有1500名3至18歲的學生。校方斥資七億元在屯門黃金海岸旁興建佔地三萬七千平方米、一幢宏偉的月牙形建築內,具有量身定製的設施,具歐陸風情的校舍,學校更設有宿舍,是香港第一所也是唯一一所英國國際寄宿和日間學校,學生由6年級起可以申請寄宿。
該學院將英國哈羅學校的教育理念,實踐和傳統元素融合到香港多元化的國際社會中,以提供高度獨特的教育,培養學生全人發展,打造明日領袖。
學生四歲便可入讀第一班,十三年內完成英國中小學課程及應考英國會考,學校教師,大部分為英國人或來自大英國協國家,自2019年起不再使用繁體字。
鑑於其學生群體中國籍和第一語言的多樣性,英語是學校唯一的包容性語言,申請人需要精通英語,學校的招生會以適合年齡的方式評估所有申請人的英語水平,以評估他們是否被錄取的可能。
