WELLINGTON COLLEGE, is one of the world's top coeducational day and boarding schools founded by royal patronage on behalf of Queen Victoria in 1859, combining innovation with 157 years of history. WELLINGTON COLLEGE CHINA has extended the Wellington College family of schools to Shanghai and Tianjin. The strong partnership with Wellington College is constitutional and operation, and allows the sharing of more than curriculum guidance: it enables Wellington College China schools to act as an extension, accessing advice and guidance, sharing staff, conducting student and staff exchange visits and growing together to offer a uniquely vibrant and international academic community. Wellington College China is short for Wellington College in China, which includes all of the Wellington College family of schools in China, including Wellington College International Tianjin, Wellington College International Shanghai, Wellington College Bilingual Shanghai. Our mission and values are based on the fundamental belief that all pupils can achieve, succeed and thrive – and it is the mission of everybody at the College to ensure we provide every opportunity for this to happen for every pupil. In realising this mission, we recognise that, while a pupil’s academic performance is always central, the building of responsibility, respect for others and self-esteem, so vital for success in adulthood, comes equally from participation in the many other areas of school life. Added to this, we seek to develop in our pupils an appreciation of how to embrace change through maturity of outlook, breadth of thought and consideration of action. All staff and parents at the College sign a charter embracing this mission, ensuring that our vision and values are evident in our school practice on a daily basis.
