Harrow Appi Japan Opens 7th Boarding House in 2025-26

With continued growth in enrolment, Harrow Appi is proud to announce the opening of Hearn House – our seventh full-boarding House, making us the first AISL Harrow School to reach this milestone.

Named after Lafcadio Hearn, the writer and educator whose work fostered deep cultural understanding between Japan and the West, The name was chosen by our pupils, to commemorate our belief that student voice should help shape the legacy of our school.

Hearn House will be led by Luke Moon, a seasoned boarding leader with extensive experience in pastoral care at leading schools in both the UK and internationally. His previous roles include Head of Boarding at Bryanston Prep and Assistant Head of Boys’ Boarding at Repton School Dubai. With additional experience in safeguarding, PSHE, and a range of academic subjects, Mr Moon brings a well-rounded, student-focused approach to residential education.

We look forward to welcoming the founding members of Hearn House next year – and to the friendships, leadership, and traditions that will grow within its walls.
