Harrow Beijing opened in 2005. It was the second British-style public school to open in China, after Dulwich College, which had opened a branch in Shanghai in 2004 and a branch in Beijing in 2005. It was the second international Harrow school to open, after Harrow International School, Bangkok. As of 2 December 2006 Harrow Beijing had 150 students.[5]
In 2022, due to changes in Chinese laws, the school will rename itself as the "Lide" School (北京市朝阳区礼德学校).[6]
