Junior Easter Courses
Junior Courses The first course offered at Harrow House in 1969 was a Junior Course, which makes our Junior Programme one of the most established and longest running Junior Courses in the UK. The success of these courses is borne out by the very high student return rate, with up to 40% of students returning for a second year and many returning for a number of years thereafter. Other contributing factors are: Our unrivalled facilities, active social programmes - 7 nights a week, dedicated teachers, an international atmosphere with over 60 different nationalities (in the summer season), supervision by our residential staff, a wide range of evening sports, games and social activities, on-site residential accommodation and the safety of Swanage as a destination to name a few.
