Harrow International School New York is an international school in Oakdale, New York, on Long Island, that opened in 2025. It is a subsidiary of the Harrow School in the United Kingdom, and the first such one to open in the United States.[1]

History

The New York State Board of Regents granted the school a provisional charter in February 2025.[1] The school opened in September 2025, initially serving grades 6 through 10,[2] with an inaugural enrollment of approximately 80 students. The school's academic programme expands by one year group annually, with the intention of ultimately encompassing grades 6 through 12 and a total enrolment of approximately 400 students. The school offers day, five-day boarding, and seven-day boarding options.[1]

The inaugural Principal was Nick Page, formerly Deputy Headmaster at Harrow School in the United Kingdom. Following his tenure, he was succeeded by Matthew Sipple, who had served as Vice-Principal. Harrow School provides ongoing support to the school through regular meetings, school visits, and inspections conducted against the Harrow Standards, maintaining oversight to ensure the school operates at a world-class level.[3]

Academics

The school will use the International Baccalaureate curriculum and it will be coeducational.[2]

Campus

The campus was previously owned by LaSalle Military Academy and St. John's University.[1] Amity University had purchased the campus from St. John's in 2016.[4] Amity then decided to establish a Harrow school in New York.[5] This campus has 170 acres (69 ha) of land, and includes an 1897 building named the Bourne Mansion.[2] The Bourne Mansion is scheduled to be the school's central building.[3]
