Accommodation and meals

At Harrow School, senior girls and boys are housed in distinct boarding houses to ensure their comfort and privacy. For juniors, aged between 9 and 11, accommodations are segregated by floors within the houses. For the safety and security of the students, these Houses remain locked at all times, with access granted only to the students and pertinent staff members. Additionally, every room is equipped with a safe to secure personal belongings.

Participants dine in the school's dining hall, receive instruction in its classrooms, and partake in the array of onsite activities and amenities accessible to students throughout the year. Regardless of whether students enrol with Harrow School Short Courses for a two-week stint or longer, the boarding houses are tailored to the needs and comforts of teenage learners, ensuring they quickly acclimate to this new "home-away-from-home."
