Opened in August 2014 and located in the New Bund area, Wellington College International Shanghai is a fully co-educational day school with over 1600 pupils, aged 2 to 18 years old. Wellington College International Shanghai is guided by a clear Vision and Purpose founded upon three strong pillars and expressed in our motto: ‘Be You. Be More.’ Guided by our five Wellington Values of Kindness, Responsibility, Respect, Courage and Integrity, we offer a pioneering education to serve and help shape a better world. Our curriculum combines the very best of British and international pedagogies to create a pupil-centric, multilingual, multicultural and inclusive learning experience. We inspire our children to be Learners, Connectors, and Changemakers, to be the best version of themselves, to take pride in where they come from and to be the change they wish to see in the world.

We can proudly say that we are one of the highest achieving international schools in China. However, an outstanding education is not only about high exam scores. It is also about fostering in pupils a sense of intellectual curiosity and a lifelong passion

Wellingtonians graduate at the age of 18 as confident, independent and resilient young adults. Whether in the classroom, on stage, or on the sports field, our pupils learn how to be successful global citizens.

Our vision Is to aspire to create a caring, international community that develops well-rounded individuals with strong values and the skills to thrive within an ever-changing world. At Wellington, our values guide us in all that we pursue. They inform our identity and shape who we are and inspire what we wish to become.

Our dedicated board of 15 governors provides steady guidance in formulating policies and upholding standards across all Wellington College China schools. Our 295 teachers and coaches reflect the diversity of our community. They are fully committed to empowering every Wellington pupil to unlock their potential.

Wellingtonians graduate at the age of 18 as confident, independent and resilient young adults. This is the result of their journey through our educational programme. We create the conditions for our pupils to flourish. This means not only achieving the best examination results possible but also acquiring the skills needed to thrive in the wider world. Whether it is in the classroom, on the sports field, on the stage or while engaging in community service projects, our pupils receive an all-round education designed to help them become successful global citizens.

Wellingtonians must move into the world with the ability to think critically and to engage in deep learning. They will be able to study beyond the bounds of any curriculum, to be inquisitive and ask questions of everything around them, and be imbued with a life-long love of learning.

Wellingtonians will develop the personal, cognitive, social and study skills to enable them to cope with the challenges of university and their lives beyond it. They will adapt, cope and thrive within an ever-changing world.

The aim of a Wellington education is to allow pupils to develop themselves fully in every sense, as we know that interested children become interesting adults.

The pastoral care and focus on pupil wellbeing at the College values each and every pupil as a unique individual, helping them discover and develop their talents, passions and interests. Wellingtonians will leave the College with the moral values and social conscience to serve others and do good in life. This inclusivity includes a strong pride in coeducation, and a commitment to understanding and appreciating our place as global citizens.
