Harrow International School Abu Dhabi is a co-educational British day and boarding school planned for a purpose-built campus on Saadiyat Island, developed by UAE education group Taaleem in partnership with Harrow International Schools and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office. It will be the first Harrow International School in the GCC and Abu Dhabi's first British boarding school, following the English National Curriculum from Early Years through IGCSE and A-Level and grounded in Harrow's values of Courage, Honour, Humility and Fellowship. Scheduled to open for the 2027/28 academic year, it launches with Early Years to Year 6 and expands year on year toward an all-through capacity of around 1,800 students, led by Executive Principal Simon O'Connor. Early announcements cited a 2026 opening; the Abu Dhabi campus now follows Harrow Dubai, opening in 2027/28.
