Harrow International School Beijing ( "Beijing Harrow English School"〔"(国际学校库 – 北京哈罗英国学校 )." ''Sina''. Retrieved on 20 June 2013.〕) is a private school located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. It was established and gained its license to operate in China in 2005 in association with Harrow School (London, UK) and Harrow International School, Bangkok. The School currently has about 680 students, both boys and girls, representing 38 different nationalities, ranging from 3 to 18 years of age. The School follows and enriches the National Curriculum of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The majority of teaching staff are recruited from the United Kingdom. The founding and current headmaster is Mr Matthew Benjamin Farthing. Recruited as part of the Senior Management Team that established Harrow International School in Bangkok in 1997, he had special responsibility to oversee the developing curriculum and ensure that academic standards were maintained. Harrow in Beijing is a coeducational day school that initially taught pupils from age 11, unlike its namesake in the United Kingdom, which only teaches boys, is a boarding school, and begins instruction when its students are 13.〔Spencer, Richard. "(Slow boater to China )." ''The Telegraph''. 2 December 2006. Retrieved on 21 June 2013.〕 Jehangir S. Pocha of ''The New York Times'' said that Harrow, which uses English as its instructional language, has "a wider approach to education" than traditional Chinese schools and it is one of several private schools that is attractive to Chinese parents who have "means who are looking to turn their children into global citizens".〔Pocha, Jehangir S. "(In China, a Western-style education has appeal – Asia – Pacific – International Herald Tribune )." ''The New York Times''. Sunday 15 October 2006. Retrieved on 21 June 2013.〕 ==History== Harrow in Beijing opened in 2005. It was the second British-style public school to open in China, after Dulwich College, which had opened a branch in Shanghai in 2004 and a branch in Beijing in 2005. It was the second international Harrow school to open, after Harrow International School, Bangkok. As of 2 December 2006 Harrow in Beijing had 150 students.〔 Matthew Benjamin Farthing, the headmaster, said in 2006 that during the school's first year, most of the children were expatriates. These included those from the United Kingdom and what he described as "countries familiar with the value of a Harrow education".〔 That year he said "but in two years I expect things will be different".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harrow International School Beijing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
