a pathway to the world's best universities
The 2025–26 academic year marked a historic milestone for Harrow Appi Japan: our first ever full Sixth Form cohort, bringing together both Year 12 and Year 13 students under one roof.
Harrow Appi Japan’s inaugural Class of 2026 received a total of 146 university offers from 81 institutions across 9 countries and regions — including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Of these, 64 offers came from universities ranked in the QS World University Rankings Top 100. This breadth and depth of destination data reflects the internationally competitive profile the school has cultivated in just four years: rigorous academics, genuine intercultural competence, leadership experience, and extracurricular distinction — the qualities most valued by admissions offices worldwide.
