Harrow is a full boarding school for boys aged 13-18 in North West London. It was founded in 1572 under a royal charter from Queen Elizabeth I by a local landowning farmer whose original intention was to provide 30 boys of the parish with a classical education. Today, the school’s purpose is to prepare boys with diverse backgrounds and abilities for a life of learning, leadership, service and personal fulfillment.
