THE HIGH SCHOOL & SENIOR
YEARS EXPERIENCE IN HARRODS

The High School & Senior Years at HIA equips students with both the knowledge and skills they need to take on the challenges of higher education and beyond. The curriculum follows the globally-renowned Cambridge IGCSE  and A-Level with an emphasis on further refining the students’ understanding of core subjects and to explore other scholarly facets that they may be passionate about. Our programme focuses on developing those interests while equipping them with essential skills to complement their academic competency.

Harrods’ Secondary Years programme is designed to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in a complex and rapidly changing world. Rooted in the Cambridge curriculum and enriched by a strong focus on personal development, the programme encourages independent thinking, innovation, and global awareness. Students benefit from a supportive learning environment where academic rigour is balanced with emotional and social growth. With access to university and career counselling, global exchange opportunities, and a caring network of teachers and mentors, students are guided to discover their passions, set meaningful goals, and step confidently into their future.

A WARM WELCOME FROM THE HEAD OF HIGH SCHOOL & SENIOR YEARS

At Harrods International Academy, we believe that education is more than just academics — it’s about preparing students to thrive in an ever-changing world. In our High School and Senior Years, we focus on building independent, responsible, and globally minded young adults. Our curriculum encourages critical thinking, real-world problem solving, and a deep sense of purpose, supported by dedicated educators who truly care about each student’s growth. I’m proud to lead a community where students are inspired to push boundaries, pursue their passions, and step confidently into their future. Welcome to a place where your child’s potential is our priority.

THE HIGH SCHOOL & SENIOR YEARS ENVIRONMENT

Here at Harrods, ensuring that our students feel safe and comfortable while on our campus is our priority. With that in mind, we place a lot of care in designing spaces that promote a sense of belonging while also encapsulating the very essence of curiosity and discovery.

Modest Student Size Per Lesson Conducted

Our approach to delivering the best education to our students is by focusing on the students themselves. By having a smaller group of students conducted by our esteemed educators in every session, we can provide the most care and attention to our students, ensuring that they develop to the best of their potential at their own pace.

Creating A Safe And Welcoming Space

In our efforts to nurture our students holistically, we have spaces that cater to our students’ needs. From classrooms facilitated for learning to libraries and rest rooms for students to leisurely relax and play, we have ample spaces that go beyond just form and function.

Hygiene And Safety Are Of Our Paramount Concern

Students on campus are under proper supervision at all times. With regular fire drills to routine hygiene and safety courses, we regard students’ safety with the highest importance. Our classrooms are equipped with safety measures ranging from immediate aid to unexpected emergencies. Part of maintaining the well-being of our students, the programme also includes designated naptime and a balanced meal.

PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT ALONG THE STUDENT’S JOURNEY

At Harrods, we deeply value the role of parents as active partners in their child’s educational journey. We foster strong, consistent communication through platforms like weekly updates, parent-teacher conferences, and leadership townhalls, ensuring families are always informed and involved. Parents are regularly invited to participate in community events, classroom reading days, student exhibitions, and cultural celebrations, creating meaningful opportunities to connect with their child’s learning. We also provide dedicated support during key transitions—such as moving from Primary to Secondary—through orientation sessions and individual meetings. By working together, we create a nurturing environment where every student can thrive.

EQUIPPED TO FACILITATE

A campus is not complete without its accompanying facilities. Here at HIA, we believe in creating spaces that are not only conducive for learning but with a strong emphasis on caring for the wellbeing of our students.
