ABOUT US
Wellington College China is a partner of Wellington College in England. It has three schools in Shanghai, all close to each other, not far from the heart of this exciting, international city. Our schools provide an outstanding education for more than 5,000 local and international children aged between 2 and 18 years old. Wellington College China are also winners of HR Asia Best Employers to work for Award, 2020.
Huili School Shanghai is Wellington’s bilingual school for Chinese students, which opened in August 2018. There are now more than 1,200 pupils in Huili nursery (Early Years 1-4) and Huili School (grades 1 to 10) and last year saw the opening of our state-of-the-art high school building and the start of IGCSE courses. Over the next two years, the school is expected to grow by more than 100 pupils per year and will be offering the IBDP when our oldest pupils begin grade 11 next academic year.
Huili School combines Wellington’s holistic British approach to educating the whole child, with the enduring strengths of the Chinese curriculum and focus on learning. We talk about giving our pupils the best of both worlds. Half of our lessons are in English and half in Chinese. Half of our teachers are English-speakers and half are Chinese. It is our desire to imbue every pupil with our five core values: courage, integrity, respect, kindness, and responsibility. Huili School Shanghai provides pupils access to an education rooted in the traditional values and the progressive approach to learning synonymous with Wellington College. The vision is to inspire pupils to become intellectual, independent, individual and inclusive; our Huili identity. This will be based on a model that establishes a strong understanding of the rich and deep heritage and culture of China and being Chinese, while also establishes the values, aptitudes and knowledge needed to be an effective global citizen. We aim to prepare pupils for success during and after life at the school.
Within a culture of shared vision, mutual respect, connection and belonging, open communication and inclusive practice, the teacher will form an integral part of a close team who aspire to continually develop and evolve in their personal and professional development.
