“We were looking for opportunities outside of China,” said Mick Farley, the new headmaster at Harrow International School in the Japanese ski town of Appi. But “the educational offering in China has become very complex; more regulated, more controlled in terms of international schools and bilingual private schools,” he said. The Harrow International School in Beijing, which only accepts foreign passport holders and attracts mainly expatriates, was unaffected. Total tuition for international schools in Japan is on track to reach US$979mil or RM4.31bil) in 2022, from US$766mil (RM3.37bil) five years ago. There’s also Jinseki International School, which opened in 2020 in Hiroshima, and Capital Tokyo International School, which opened in April.
