The Harrow School, one of Britain's leading independent schools, will establish a campus in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Scheduled to begin operation in September 2014, the Chengdu campus is Harrow's fourth international school in Asia, after Bangkok, Hong Kong and Beijing. Initiated in 1572 in London and as one of the most prestigious private schools across the globe, the Harrow School has fostered seven prime ministers of the United Kingdom.
