Our ambition is to inspire our students to strive for excellence and to prepare them for a life of learning, leadership, service and personal fulfillment.
What does ‘excellence’ mean?
Educational excellence?
Outstanding leadership skills?
Having a good command of a sport or an art?
Being an active contributor of the community?
At Harrow Shenzhen, a diverse, open and inclusive school, there is no standard answer. We always encourage the students to strive for excellence even if there is little possibility to succeed.

From Jessie
“There is no failure except in no longer trying, ” by Elbert Hubbard inspired me a lot. This quote motivates me to keep trying things like leadership opportunities. Even though it wasn’t successful, I still learn from it and how to improve. Failure is much better than not trying in my opinion, you learn things from failure much more than success. ”
In Year 7, Jessie became more involved in leadership and service activities around the school. Jessie is a kind and intelligent person, and I am so glad she has decided to share her care for others and leadership ability by joining these groups. I know that as Jessie continues her educational journey she will continue to develop into a kind and patient leader.
