At Harrow International School Appi Japan, we believe that sustainability is not the responsibility of a few—it is a shared commitment across our entire community. This week, we proudly reaffirmed that belief during a significant moment in our school’s journey.
At our recent school assembly, Head Master Mr Stephen Tong signed The Sustainable Schools Charter, joined by our student Sustainability Ambassadors, Kalie and Popo. With this act, Harrow Appi became an official member of The Alliance for Sustainable Schools (TASS)—a global network of forward-thinking schools working together to drive progress toward a more sustainable future.
Our membership in TASS reflects a deep commitment to integrating sustainability into all aspects of school life. Whether it is the food we serve, the uniforms we wear, the way we teach, or the way we design and operate our buildings, every detail matters. As a full-boarding school set in the mountains of Northern Japan, we are uniquely placed to model sustainable living and learning for the next generation.
Through this partnership, we will continue to empower our students as environmental stewards—equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and values to make a meaningful impact, both locally and globally.
This is more than a symbolic step. It is a promise: to our students, our environment, and the future we all share.
