Before 2020, most parents may have balked at the idea of online schools – but the coronavirus pandemic quickly altered this consensus, with students and families worldwide growing more accustomed to online-only education.

Harrow School Online was created to bring a Harrow School education to the homes of pupils around the world. It opened in September 2020 and currently offers the following A-Level subjects: Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Economics and Spanish. Unlike the traditional school, Harrow School Online is open to boys and girls.

The technology underpinning the online sixth form is provided by Pearson and allows students to take part in live online lessons, one-to-one academic tutorials and regular coaching sessions. There are also extracurricular activities, including chess club and art club.
