Harrow Hong Kong Claims Best A-Level Results in School History
Three in four candidates earned an A or A* grade in August 2026, with 94 percent of all results at A*-B, marking a new high-water mark for the school.
Harrow International School Hong Kong has achieved what the school describes as its strongest A-level performance on record, with 94 percent of all grades falling at A*-B, according to Bastille Post. Three in four candidates were awarded A or A*, with 34 percent of the entire cohort claiming the top A* grade.
Subject results were strong across a wide range of disciplines. Art achieved a clean 100 percent A*-A, Further Mathematics reached 94 percent, and Religious Studies 75 percent, suggesting that the school's strongest performers are distributed across the curriculum rather than clustered in a single faculty.
Ten pupils, four A* grades each
Ten students received four A* grades each, with many adding a fifth A* in the Extended Project Qualification. That density of exceptional performance at the very top of the grade distribution is unusual even by the standards of Hong Kong's most competitive international sixth forms, several of which opened new dedicated centres this academic year.
The Class of 2026 is heading to universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Northwestern and UC Berkeley, alongside Hong Kong institutions HKU and CUHK. The results come in a week when A-level outcomes have drawn particular attention across the city, as schools compete more keenly than ever for the most able senior students.
