ABOUT US
Opened in August 2014 and located in the New Bund area, Wellington Shanghai is a fully
co-educational day school with over 1500 pupils, aged 2 to 18 years old. Consistent with
the ethos of its prestigious partner in the UK, the College seeks to develop the Wellington
Identity in every child whilst upholding the Wellington Values. Boasting a state-of-the-art
campus, Wellington has built a vibrant community where all pupils strive to achieve
academic excellence and engage in a comprehensive range of opportunities in science,
music, performing arts and sports.
The College is divided into three schools starting with Early Years (Pre-Nursery to

and Senior School (Years 9 to 13) on the main campus. Following the Early Years Foundation
Stage curriculum through the English National and International Primary Curriculum,
Wellington’s pupils are then prepared to go on to study a range of IGCSE subjects in years
10 and 11 to then embark on the rigorous IB Diploma Programme in years 12 and 13.
ABOUT THE WELLINGTON FAMILY
Wellington College in England was founded by Queen Victoria in 1859 as a national
monument to Britain’s most renowned military figure, the Duke of Wellington, Field
Marshal Arthur Wellesley, a statesman and soldier who also served the country with
distinction twice as Prime Minister. Over 160 years later, the College is one of the most
respected schools in the United Kingdom and one of its greatest educational institutions,
pioneering, innovating and transforming education for girls and boys.
In partnership with Wellington College in England, Wellington College China (WCC)
opened its inaugural school, Wellington College International Tianjin, in August 2011.
Wellington College China continued to grow with the opening of Wellington College
International Shanghai in 2014 and the creation of WCC Huili to promote bicultural
education. This resulted in the opening of Huili Nursery Shanghai in 2016. Further schools
followed with Huili School Shanghai, Huili Nursery Hangzhou, Huili School Hangzhou and
Wellington College International Hangzhou all opening in August 2018. Then, in 2022, Huili
School Nantong, Wellington College China’s flagship boarding school, opened in
September 2022.
Wellington international schools teach a curriculum based on the English National
Curriculum, while Huili schools combine the best of the British and Chinese education
systems for Chinese pupils aged 2–18.
Today, the Wellington College Family has schools in England, Thailand, Indian and China.
Wellington College China continues to flourish and plans to take its bicultural education
model overseas within the next few years.
