Our Campus
A modern campus in the heart of the Qiantan New Bund Area, along the Huangpu River—the largest international school site in downtown Shanghai—designed to inspire exploration, collaboration, and world-class learning.
Sports
Sports play an integral role at Wellington. We provide an inclusive and nurturing environment that inspires pupils to be resilient and independent learners and to cultivate a lifelong passion for physical activity. Throughout the academic year, our pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting activities, both at home and abroad, competing against leading international and bilingual schools.
The Arts
It is the College's philosophy that every child should be developed in multiple ways. We firmly believe in educating the whole person, not just through academic studies, but by also allowing each individual to develop skills that will prepare them for the future. Within the arts we teach creativity, communication, teamwork, visual appreciation and the ability to make critical and aesthetic judgements, while developing skills and mastery within a discipline.
