On four afternoons a week our Senior, Prep, Pre-Prep and even Early Years students have access to the LIA programme. For our younger students in particular this is a journey of self-discovery. 

To promote Leadership for a Better World through an outstanding education, involving academic achievement, a broad range of extra-curricular activities (Leadership and Service programme) and individual pastoral care are conducted. Leadership at Harrow Shanghai involves leading from the front and being an effective team player, while focusing on six key leadership attributes: Contributing positively to the community, Applying knowledge with compassion, Solving problems collaboratively, Solving problems creatively, Making just and responsible choices, Facing challenges with determination.

Extracurricular activities take place everyday Monday to Thursday from 3-4pm. We are very proud that all of pupils are involved in the programme, from Early Years to Upper Sixth. This enables us to broaden the horizons of our pupils and ensure they experience a range of activities outside the academic curriculum.
