BEYOND EYC

Once students complete their final year in EYC in Reception they continue their Lower School journey into Pre Prep (Years 1 - 5). In this next phase, students begin to learn traditional subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, Art, History, Computing, Design and Technology, and Geography. The Pre Prep curriculum is rigorous, robust, and built upon the very best practice from around the world. Individual subjects are linked wherever possible through exciting half termly themes with specialist teachers encouraging a love of music, Thai culture, languages and physical activity. The curriculum also focuses on developing the skills and attributes our students need to become ‘Leaders for a better world’.

The Upper School starts in Year 6 in the Prep Phase (Years 6 to 8) where learning focuses on progressive skills and knowledge based on the UK National Curriculum and is adapted to our international context. In Years 9 to 11 or in Harrow terminology, our Shell, Remove and Fifth Form Phase (SR5), the full IGCSE range of subjects are studied. In Shell (Year 9), students broaden their foundations with Humanities and Sciences taught as discrete subjects before selecting their IGCSE optional subjects, which will be studied in the following two years in Remove (Year 10) and Fifth Form (Year 11). Many of our students earn scholarships for the Sixth Form based on their examination results at IGCSE level. In the Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13), students study A Levels, a set of gold standard internationally recognised qualifications giving students direct access to the most competitive universities worldwide, including UK, USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.

In 2019, 56% of our students secured places in the top 100 globally ranked universities. With many going on to UK and US universities. Of those students going to the UK 67% secured places at Russell Group universities and of those going to the United States 67% secured places at the top 50 ranked US universities.

educational building which can house up to 280 students. We aim for our Sixth Form to be a learning community, with our students developing independence, leadership attributes and maturity and leaving us with excellent academic results. The Sixth Form contains rooms for both private and interactive study as well as a Careers Advice Centre with UK, North American and international university councillors. Regular visits are made to our school by university representatives from all over the world, as well as outside speakers and a number of roadshows from top universities.

We offer a comprehensive choice of additional opportunities in the Sixth Form, including traditional academic courses, timetabled SAT support and popular additions such as Psychology, Media Studies and Computer Science. To satisfy the English proficiency requirements of universities in English speaking countries, students should also take IELTS and ToEFL courses.

The Extended Project Qualification encourages all students to explore a specialist area of interest, alongside a tailor-made curriculum including critical thinking, wider reading and debate, academic writing development and university preparation. Students excelling in these areas are recognised by receiving the Harrow Prize, an externally certified award.

Our Sixth Form students lead the whole school through their attitude, outlook and ambition — they are the leaders of the future.
