HARROW Li DE SCHOOL HENGQIN

Harrow LiDe School Hengqin (referred to as Harrow Hengqin) is located in the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone on the beautiful island of Hengqin. It is a boarding and day school dedicated to providing international bilingual education for in all grades K-12. As the only Harrow bilingual school in the Greater Bay Area, it offers a top-tier Harrow LiDe education system designed largely for Chinese and overseas Chinese students, establishing a new benchmark in bilingual education in the Greater Bay Area. The international spirit of the school is boosted by the diverse student body: over 30% of students do not speak Mandarin as their first language, originating from Hong Kong, Macau or from outside China. Intensive teaching in the English language and immersion in school activities, led in English, leads to bilingualism. Those who do not speak Mandarin fluently are similarly coached in Chinese as a second language to become bilingual. Many of our students are even trilingual.

Harrow Hengqin is strategically located next to Novotown in the middle of Hengqin island, just 5km from Macau – amongst green open spaces, next to the river, the rowing park and over 100km of walking and bike trails. The spacious campus of 50,000m² designed by architects Aedas has capacity for 1000 students, including 300 boarding places (from G3).

Interactive outdoor learning spaces are designed to encourage students to engage with a natural educational environment. The campus layout features a variety of multipurpose spaces indoors and outdoors, an astroturf pitch, a 400m running track (new in 2025), and roof gardens. A large sports hall, indoor swimming pool, large drama black box performance space, computer suites, golf simulator, pottery room, dance studios, two libraries and large theatre/auditorium are among the facilities the students enjoy.

In 2024, Harrow Hengqin students took IGCSE exams for the first time, achieving an impressive 79% A*-A grade rate. Notably, in English Literature, Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry 100% of grades were A* or A, outshining other international and bilingual schools in the Greater Bay Area. In 2025 IGCSEs and AS exams are taken and A levels from 2026 as students reach the top of the school for the first time.
