Naturally Excellent
Set amidst the mountains of Appi Kogen, Harrow Appi Japan offers an environment like no other. Clean air, endless skies, and the quiet strength of nature surround every aspect of school life. Students benefit from direct access to Japan’s largest ski resort in the Tohoku region, a 36-hole golf course, and 14 tennis courts—all within walking distance of campus.
The campus itself is a place of constant wonder—a magical setting that transforms with the seasons. In the White Season, the landscape becomes a pristine winter playground, inviting students to ski, snowboard and explore. During the Green Season, the mountains burst to life with vibrant trails and open fields, perfect for hiking and outdoor learning. And in the Golden Season, the hills blaze with colour, creating a breathtaking backdrop for reflection and renewal.
Mirroring the edge-of-city setting of Harrow School in the UK, our campus fosters both challenge and contemplation—encouraging students to aim higher, dig deeper, and achieve more than they ever imagined possible. Here, academic excellence naturally goes hand in hand with outdoor adventure, cultivating future leaders who thrive in any environment.
Digital Campus
Innovation is woven into every aspect of life at Harrow Appi Japan. As a fully integrated digital campus, technology enhances learning both inside and beyond the classroom. Our teachers use cutting-edge digital tools and teaching methodologies to bring lessons to life, blending face-to-face engagement with dynamic online resources that extend the learning experience.
Through our secure digital ecosystem, students and parents can seamlessly access timetables, curriculum materials, assignments, and progress reports—anytime, anywhere. Parents can even meet teachers virtually through digital consultations, ensuring strong home–school connections no matter where in the world they are.
At the heart of this vision lies our Innovation Hub—a centre dedicated to creativity, collaboration, and discovery. Here, students explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) through hands-on projects that foster innovation and entrepreneurial thinking. It’s a space where ideas grow, curiosity thrives, and the leaders of tomorrow begin to take shape.
