Why Wellington？
Wellington College International Shanghai is a fully co-educational day school serving families with children aged 2 to 18. We are guided by a clear Vision and Purpose founded upon three strong pillars and expressed in our motto: ‘Be You. Be More.’ The College offers a pioneering education to serve and help shape a better world, combining the very best of British and international pedagogies to create a pupil-centric, multilingual, multicultural and inclusive learning experience.
From our Early Years Centre to our Secondary School, Wellington pupils are Learners with the passion, intrinsic motivation and critical thinking that enables us to solve real-world challenges. They are Connectors with the confidence, openness and empathy to bridge cultural chasms and bring our world closer together. They are Changemakers with the knowledge, networks and commitment to better serve their community and make a positive impact on the future.
Regardless of age, Wellington pupils are inspired to be the best version of themselves and to take pride in where they come from. By living the Wellington Values of Kindness, Responsibility, Respect, Courage and Integrity, they learn to be the change they wish to see in the world.
An education
that produces outstanding results
Last academic year, our year 11 pupils made remarkable achievements on their IGCSEs. 90% achieved an A or A* (7/8/9) grade in mathematics and 91% achieved an A or A* (7/8/9) grade in physics for instance. Our graduating Class of 2023 was a unique cohort. Their exam years were bookended by the sudden onslaught and eventual retreat of a global pandemic. In the years in between, they contended with postponements, lockdowns and a host of other disruptions. Nevertheless, they achieved some spectacular results. Their average International Baccalaureate examination score was 36.7, well above the global average of 30.2. Nine of our 2023 leavers achieved scores of 40 or higher, with a top score of 44! This year also saw a 100% pass rate for our pupils doing second language (Language B) papers with grades 6+, and our IB Core average at grade 2 out of 3.
They have already begun their university careers at some of the world’s top-ranked schools, such as Cambridge, Oxford, Caltech, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Brown, Imperial College London, University College London, University of California Berkeley and more.
A strong parent-teacher partnership
The Friends of Wellington (FOW) is our parent and teacher association and brings the school community together to share, contribute and celebrate. It is integral to College life as it hosts several key events throughout the academic year. The FOW also contributes to the wider community and promotes the Wellington Value of Kindness through annual fundraising and charity activities.
A campus
purpose-built for holistic education
Our campus offers endless opportunities to put our values into practice and we hope these will be guiding principles for our pupils as they navigate life well into adulthood.
