In a groundbreaking move that reshapes the region’s education landscape, the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) and Taaleem have joined forces to launch the first-ever Harrow International School in the GCC. This bold partnership brings the prestigious British institution to the heart of Abu Dhabi, promising world-class education, unparalleled academic excellence, and an elite learning experience like never before.
Set to open on Saadiyat Island in 2026, Harrow International School Abu Dhabi is not just another addition to the emirate’s growing educational sector—it’s a statement. With a rich 450-year legacy of producing global leaders, Harrow is renowned for its rigorous curriculum, exceptional pastoral care, and its legendary house system. By introducing this iconic institution, Abu Dhabi is solidifying its position as a hub for high-net-worth individuals seeking the finest education for their children.
This collaboration aligns perfectly with the emirate’s vision for economic growth and human capital development. As Abu Dhabi continues to attract global investors and top-tier talent, the presence of Harrow International further enhances the city’s appeal as a world-class destination for families, executives, and entrepreneurs. The school’s cutting-edge facilities, commitment to holistic development, and emphasis on leadership will set a new benchmark in premium education across the region.
Beyond education, this partnership is a catalyst for economic growth. By investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure and attracting top educators from around the globe, the project is expected to create new jobs, boost real estate demand, and drive long-term investment in Abu Dhabi’s knowledge economy. The initiative also underscores ADIO’s commitment to fostering world-class institutions and positioning Abu Dhabi as a premier destination for quality education.
With enrolments opening in 2025, excitement is already building. Families eager to secure a spot in this elite institution are gearing up for what promises to be a transformative educational journey. As Harrow International School Abu Dhabi prepares to open its doors, the emirate is making a bold declaration: the future of education in the region has arrived, and it’s more prestigious than ever!
