About Wellington Shanghai

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.

The College is divided into three schools starting with Early Years (Pre-Nursery to Reception) housed at the Early Years Centre, with Primary School (Year 1 to Year 6) and Secondary School (Years 7 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.

Our school has been ranked #2 in China by Hurun, the leading school index in China; we have also been included on the Carfax Schools Index Top 150. Our pupils have been accepted at 12 of the US News and World Report Top 20 Universities and at 10 of the QS Top 20 Universities. In 2024 our average IB score was 37.1. Our pupils take advantage of unparalleled opportunities to distinguish themselves in academics, sport, the arts, and leadership.

Success in public examinations is important and we celebrate it. However, at Wellington College, we want our pupils to be the very best people that they can be: to be kind, to have integrity in their actions, to take responsibility when necessary, to have respect for their environment, for others and themselves, and finally to show courage when needed. The Wellington values frame the way we think about what it is be a Wellingtonian, including the ways we work and what we hope to become.

Our employment package is excellent, with very competitive salaries, housing, flights, medical insurance and other benefits. We aim to be exemplary employers and have had very low rates of teacher turnover since we opened.

Today the College remains one of the most respected educational institutions in the UK. Its global network of 10 schools empowers more than 10,000 students in England, China, India, and Thailand with schools soon to open in Indonesia, the US and South Korea.
