Obligations of AISL Harrow Scholars

Receiving an AISL Harrow Scholarship is both an honour and a responsibility.

Scholars are expected to complete their A Level education at their AISL Harrow School. Pupils must demonstrate consistent excellence in their chosen talent area, maintaining the high standards that earned them the scholarships.

In addition to their personal achievement, scholars are encouraged to participate in activities with AISL and the school community, such as mentoring younger pupils, leading workshops, or performing in school productions. This fosters a culture of creativity, collaboration, and skill-sharing across AISL Harrow Schools.

Whole-person development must also remain strong, reflecting the balance between academic attainment and personal growth that the AISL Harrow education promotes. Scholars serve as ambassadors for their School and the wider AISL Harrow community, exemplifying integrity, leadership, and respect in all settings.

To ensure accountability, scholars are required to submit an annual education report detailing their education progress, and their contributions to the School and wider community.
