Amity Education Group is delighted to announce an agreement with Harrow School, UK to establish Harrow International Schools in India and New York, which will take forward Harrow’s 450 years old legacy.
Harrow School is one of the world’s most famous schools. Founded in 1572 under a Royal Charter by Queen Elizabeth I, it is located on a 324 acre estate in London and has numerous illustrious alumni like Jawahar Lal Nehru, Winston Churchill, literary figure Lord Byron, and innumerable Nobel Laureates.
The Harrow Values of courage, honour, humility, and fellowship deeply resonate with Amity’s values-based approach to learning and overall development.
