Posted on by harrowdev

Asia International School Limited (AISL) has officially launched the AISL Harrow Food Project, embodying the group’s commitment to excellence, consistently upholding the same high standards from education to school dining. A collection of 20 exclusive dishes crafted in collaboration with renowned international culinary consultant Paul Yen, these dishes are designed to redefine the AISL Harrow dining experience—authentically healthy, diverse, high-quality, and delicious.

On 29 May 2025, the launch event, First Bite Preview, was successfully held at Harrow International School Shanghai. Over 80 guests— including parent, students, staff, and special guests, attended the tasting session and offered valuable feedback on the 5 featured dishes served on eco-friendly tableware.

Clare Chiu, Chief Operating Officer of AISL, shared the vision behind the project: “The AISL Harrow Food Project reflects our commitment to excellence in school dining. Partnering with a celebrated chef, we aim to create healthy, delicious dishes that nourish, foster joy, and build lasting memories. This initiative is about connection, culture, and building lifelong healthy habits.

This initiative reimagines food as more than sustenance—it’s a foundation for growth, learning, and lifelong wellness. Our goal is to make nutritious, delicious meals the joyful norm, cultivating a generation that values what truly nourishes them while building sustainable, healthy habits for the future.”

All dishes adhere to six guiding principles:

  • No MSG
  • No artificial ingredients
  • No deep frying
  • No refined sugars
  • No highly processed ingredients
  • No low-quality seed oils

The AISL Harrow Food Project will be gradually introduced across all AISL schools in the upcoming academic year, allowing every student to experience the exciting new menu. At Harrow, learning extends to the dining table, where food becomes a medium for connection, exploration, and growth. Through the universal language of food, the AISL Harrow Food Project delivers “Excellence on the Plate” every single day.

On the final day, strong debate teams from renowned schools convened. Three hundred students partook in a pre-match cross-campus writing competition. All participants demonstrated their skills in the subsequent debates.

The outstanding performance of AISL Harrow team members in both writing and debating was a testament to Harrow LiDe School’s high standards in bilingual education and its unwavering commitment to the preservation of Chinese culture.

Year-End Message for AISL Harrow Schools from Harrow

Posted on by harrowdev

As we approach the end of the 2023/2024 academic year, we are delighted to share a sincere letter from Mr Alastair Land, the Head Master of Harrow School in the UK. This letter is a special message to all international Harrovians, recognising their remarkable achievements throughout the year. 

Please read the full letter below: 

It remains an immense privilege and a point of pride to be part of the Harrow Family of Schools. Across our outstanding global community, so much is achieved. Among the many varied endeavours of our pupils, we see academic excellence fuelled by high-level thinking and self-motivation, and encouraged by impressive beaks (teachers); experience masterful artistic performances, demonstrating intelligence, skill and months of dedicated practice and teaching; and witness brilliant sports results and high levels of involvement, all born from long-term commitment and inspired coaching. 

Our diverse Harrovian life involves both collaboration and competition, fun and seriousness, failure and success. Each side of the coin has equal significance. Exceptionality is not an everyday thing. Every headline, every accolade – each is crafted from the ground up, underpinned by the Harrow Values of courage, honour, humility and fellowship.  

As we tip into the second quarter of the 21st century, the entire Harrow Family is considering carefully how to conserve such high levels of achievement while also promoting pupil wellbeing and the full participation of every child.  

At Harrow School in the UK, we are relishing the increasing opportunities to collaborate ever more meaningfully with the wider Harrow Family – through, for example, support for the recruitment, induction and development of staff, as well as pan-Family pupil projects and other engagements. There are huge educational and professional benefits for all involved. 

Wherever we sit in the Harrow Family, we each strive to inculcate qualities that will allow our pupils to thrive, equipping them to work and enjoy challenges alongside others, whoever they may be, prepared by an unparalleled holistic education that nourishes mind, body and soul.  

The end of an academic year gives us a chance to come together and celebrate our achievements, to look ahead and to express our gratitude. We are thankful to every member of our community for their support, thankful for Harrow and its values, and thankful for the times we have together, always seeking to grow and to become the best we can.  

Stet fortuna domus.
