About Harrow International School Abu Dhabi
Harrow International School Abu Dhabi is a British-curriculum school under construction on Saadiyat Island. Taaleem runs it under a sub-licence of Harrow School's name and badge from Harrow International Schools Limited. The school's website says it opens in August 2027, and its application form takes applications for 2027-2028 from FS1 to Year 6, with Years 7 and 8 available from 2028-2029; its fee table lists Years 7 to 13 as year groups to be added in future academic years. Taaleem announced the school in February 2025 with Harrow International Schools Limited and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, after the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) awarded Taaleem a Musataha land lease for a 70,369 sqm plot. Taaleem's 2024-25 annual report describes it as a boarding school, with a K-12 campus for 1,800 students designed by KODA architects. Adrian Frost is Head Master, and Simon O'Connor is Executive Head Master of Harrow International Schools in the UAE. The school's fees include tuition and dining. Not yet open, it has no ADEK inspection rating.

Annual tuition fees
Per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Fees are from the school's own fee table on its website (September 2026), which names no academic year; the school opens in August 2027 and takes applications for 2027-2028 only. The school says its fees include both tuition and dining: the fee shown is tuition, and the total adds the dining fee. Years 7 to 13 are priced for tuition only, with dining to be confirmed, and the school says these year groups will be added in future academic years (Years 7 and 8 from 2028-2029). The school is not yet on ADEK's school register, so no ADEK-approved fees are shown.
